Except for the news, I record *everything* I want to watch. Besides the advantages of time shifting, I also get *time savings*, in that I watch one hour of NYPD Blue in about 45 minutes. Time is money, and this saves a whole lot of it. Using S-VHS VCRs means I hardly lose any picture or sound quality, too. My three VCRs are set up so that I can record network TV from my rooftop antenna, Dish programming from my satellite receiver and watch a taped program or movie, all at the same time. S-VHS VCRs are so cheap now (they start at about $100), it's worth it to have this sort of setup.
