[blparent] Using Tivo or DVR

[Michael Baldwin]

If your watching TV live, you can not skip over the commercials, you have to
watch a recorded program, or have had the program paused.
We have the Dish Network DVR, and I am unable to use it for watching
pre-recorded programs, or set it to record something, but I can use the
pause, rewind. and fast forward features.

I haven't seen a bad commercial, but I have seen shows on prime time TV I
wouldn't want my kid watching.

My husband and I are thinking we need to look at some kind of Tivo or DVR
setup so when we watch sporting events or even regular TV, we can skip or
fast forward thru the commercials because they are often pretty bad,
especially during games, etc. Our son is 4 and likes to watch sports with us
- but the commercials aren't so good!

Do any of you have a Tivo or DVR setup that works OK without seeing, etc.
etc.?

Thanks,
Kjirsten
