I just got DirectTV hooked up and I would heartily recommend anybody who has cable or dish - get a DVR! It actually makes the satellite bill worth paying... can just save up all the shows I love to watch automatically, watch them whenever I want, and can skip commercial breaks in a couple of seconds with the remote.
After only a few weeks I can't imagine watching cable or dish without this DVR, best thing since tv was invented.
