Somebody slap me in the head

I recently bought a DVD recorder. I recorded the MNF game. I went to finalize the DVD and my dumba** accidentally erased it. I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I wish I had a TiVo, myself.

Yeah, this blows bad. The reason I screwed up was because the formatting and finalizing button in the menu screen are beside each other. Instead of looking carefully at it, I just flew through it.

CompUSA has 40-hour TiVo units for free after mail-in rebate. My only problem is the $13/month service fee. I'm seriously considering it though, then I could go back and watch plays instead of commercials.

Since we're on the subject, DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE A RECORDING OF THE GAME THEY WOULD WANT TO SHARE WITH A FELLOW SKINS FAN???

I really want this piece of history.

Well, I had it

. Not only did I have the game, I had the press conferences afterwards, one where Parcells looked shell shocked. If anyone has the game, I would be grateful to purchase a copy.

I believe I read in the game day thread that "Deadskin" DVR'd it. JSPB22, if you're out there, can you help some brothers out??? [-o<

Sorry I can't help. I couldn't figure it out this morning how to record it. I may have to go buy a DVR but I don't want to. I'm cheap.

Yeah, I watched the last 4 minutes of that game 10 times already. That was priceless.

I got mine with Directv service. If your a new customer I think its free. If your an exsisting customer you get a 100 mail in rebate so your total cost is like $50 and they charge 5.00 per month for the service. They charge you that anyways.

Yeah, DirecTV is $5/month. They are switching to their own DVR (away from TiVo) though, if that matters. Dish Network is also $5/month. My parents have their HDTV DVR. It's pretty sweet.

The good thing with dirctv is they are the biggest and also I can get all the sports packages...Its the only way I see all the skins and NC State games. Also college football.

Is it any good? I've heard horror stories of Cable-company DVRs.

A good site for DVR stuff is http://www.pvrwire.com.

It's a Motorola machine. I've never had any problems with it.

It could just be that people are a little crazy about their TiVos. It's kind of like talking about computers to a Mac user...

Check this out. I had to work, a night shift of the Monday night game, so I recored the game, and belive it or not the game, stop recording the last 5 minutes of the game. The most exciting part. Im still heart broken.....

Oh man, that sucks. That is the only part of the game that is worth watching. Up until then it was a Dallas festival. The best part about the last 5 minutes, besides the game winning bombs, were the expressions of the Cowboy fans faces after we took the lead. It was priceless.

its possible that they may put the last few minutes up on kazaa or morpheus, try downloading it? its a remote possibility, howver i do have the last minute and a half of the pats first super bowl win, the one when john madden was like "they should just play for overtime al, as a coac h i don't agree with this.."
