DVR Paradox

Posted on 08/12/2010 // 6 Comments

Why is it that when I’m watching shows on the DVR I forget about my ability to fast forward through commercials and yet when I’m watching shows live all I can think of is how I wish I could fast forward through the commercials?

    I do the same thing with my parent’s DVR. We’re just so trained.

    It’s the power of the subconscious mind! No real conscious choice to do that, it just happens…

        I watched broadcast tv for the first time in years this weekend. It was the most boring thing in the world. It was Dish but without a DVR so there were hundreds of channels but nothing that i was interested in sitting through commercials for. Forgetting that you can fast forward seems like a crime.

    I honestly find that completely out of character for you. Seriously?? FF is a necessity!
