42. The problem I have is with DVRs

Nov 11

I like VCRs a lot more since you can record a show onto a tape and save ot or share it. I need my DVR upgraded but I won't do it since it has a lot of movies on it that I want to see whenever I want. I am not good with tech stuff bit the cable guy said that I could save it to something something...blah...blah...blah. i have no idea what he is talking about and do not have anyone to ask for help since I live alone and everything I do is through trial and error. It takes a ton of time and is terribly frustrating and usually it still won't work.
