That's one of the caches I have on my "watch list" since I dropped off one of my signature ladders and to my knowledge it's still there since I haven't seen anyone log that they've removed it yet.Originally Posted by Hiram357
Incidentally, I've got to "defend" my Magellan here some too . . . I can't tell you the number of times I've dropped it on rocks, cement, etc. (I can't help it since I'm a certified klutz -- really I have a certificate) and it has done pretty well other than some minor scratches on the screen that I can live with for now. I've never tried drowning it though so I can't speak to how well it would do . . . or not do.

Bruce . . . gotta tell you that I have Tivo and absolutely love it. It's so much better than a VCR . . . I only wish I could get it to tape broadcast shows.Originally Posted by WhereRWe?

I've had TiVo for 5 years or so and also LOVE it. But I hate paying for those nasty update calls (I use a number in Augusta). We keep it unplugged from the phone lines until we've got 2-3 days of data left. Otherwise it would call every day at about $1 per call.Originally Posted by firefighterjake
Although you can get a network card and wireless interface for the Version 1 TiVo, the new versions already have a network card, and you just need the wireless adapter to connect it to the wireless network.
And TiVo just released a new model that will allow you to record 2 shows at once! Reason enough to upgrade!
I must have one of the newer models because for the past couple of months I have been able to do just that . . . record two shows at once. Much easier to record than using a VCR . . . and the digital quality is outstanding. All in all it was a very decent gift from my wife.Originally Posted by WhereRWe?

We can record broadcast shows because we get network feeds from DirecTV - not over the air. We get ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox stations from New York - apparently because we live in an electromagnetic dead zone where we can't reliably get the local stations. They cost something like $1.50 a month each, but are worth it.
I have DVR through the cable company and love it. I record most shows and watch them later, even the same night but zip through the commercials. A half-hour show in 20 minutes....one-hour show in about 40 minutes. More time for other things.
We do this as well....but I must say I love the fact that I can have an instant replay of interesting moments during the Nascar race, hockey game, etc. Very useful!
TV is pointless... go geocaching...
Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
I've done a few geocaches. TV gives me something to do while I enjoy my Gritty's...and the remote feels just like my gpsr. I'm right at home!!Originally Posted by Hiram357
