Since Em and I are contemplating canceling our cable, I've been trying to get in some quality time with the DVR while I still can. The best use of it I can figure is to find one of those shows that is played 6 times a day on various channels. I thought I might be limited to Seinfeld and Law & Order (all flavors), but it turns out my new favorite show Scrubs gets recorded six times a day!
Of course, I can't just watch a show, so I made a spreadsheet checklist; in the last 3 weeks I've checked off 88 episodes. I figure another week or two and I can stop, which Em will appreciate since I've taken to randomly yelling "newbie!" and doing little Turk dances.

I’d probably do the same thing too and just get a HiDef Antenna for off air signals, unfortunately I don’t think NESN does off air stuff, yet.
If it helps any, CBS/FOX contract is *this* close to getting signed, honest. If you need to downgrade anything just email me.
I wish I could find a way to cancel my satellite, it’s just too expensive, but until the YES network starts broadcasting in NH over the air, no dice
Baseball is indeed the sticking point. I’ll probably post more about this later, but we’re thinking of doing a trial separation from Sox in HD, relying on the newly Trupiano-less WEEI broadcasts and getting a weekly Jerry Remy fix at Em’s parents’ place.
If and when you do decide to cut and if they do transfer you over to “retention specialist”, they’ll probably offer you a deal to stay, I’ve seen from the deals and they’re quite good.
Scrubs has consistently been one of the funniest, most well written sitcoms in a long time. It makes me sad that i don’t have a DVR (or a job to afford DVR) to record every airing, but it does make me happy that it’s on all the fucking time…oh Billy, you and your spreadsheets….
