You are so right Markus. Time is the new bandwidth restriction. Or the old one, or the one that we all can always count on. The think about my PVR (generic TIVO) is that I record all this stuff that never gets watched. There is one night a week that my wife and I really sit down and watch TV and it's kinda like our thing we do together (well you know besides that other thing we do together.) And that's Sunday night, we watch one of the great HBO dramas or comedies.
