Maybe I'll juts dedicate one Saturday a month to entertaining myself, watching TV shows and movies and what not, and vegetating without any real world to do. That way I won't miss anything and can review whatever interests me instead of having to catch it in rerun, or just seeing part of a thing, etc. and that will leave the whole week free to work without having to think to remember about anything like TV. I hope I won't be working tonight and miss Stargate Universe, but I figure I might. I got another exercise coming up soon, and a show to help ready. So given my casework load and other stuff my whole weekend may be pretty much tied up. I reckon though I can catch it in reruns.Anyways I guess I'll have some research to do about the bets recording technology available and how it works and so forth. Never much worried or even thought about it before, but that approach would save me a lot of TV trouble, and wouldn't interfere with work. And would give me an excuse to have one Saturday a month where I don't have to do much. 'Cept eat pizza, drink a beer, and relax a little.Anywho you guys got some kinda advice on the best big screen, digital, HD TVs and whatnot? I really want something that looks the most like a 3-D picture. And what about the best Tivo or DVR, and whatnot? Remember I know next to nothing about this kind of technology, generally speaking. Never had the real need or desire for it before. Guess I shoulda done this years ago, but kept putting it off cause of doing other things.</blockquote>
