Back to page topWe have a DVR through our cable company and we rarely watch live TV -- which drives my sisters bonkers when they want to compare notes on American Idol night.
Even if I am home when a show I want to watch comes on, I choose to record it and hit the play button 20 minutes or so into the show and, then, whoever is in charge of the remote gets to "zoom-zoom" through the commercials.
And -- BONUS -- we can stop the action if someone needs to go to the bathroom or fetch a beverage or pop some popcorn.

I can’t wait to get home tonight and find the TV treasures I have waiting for me.
