all signs point to world dominance

red herring examines the dvr business and finds that the satellite companies and cable television companies are pretty excited about the technology. it's an article completely worth reading if you have some interest in the future of the hard drive based television watching future.

what's good on tv?

this past august i traded in the old cable box for the new digital video recorder version. i tried to find a website that suggested odd things worth recording. i had no luck.

all i want to know is:
what’s good on tv?
what should i watch on television?
is there something i should record?

this dvr doesn’t work exactly like a tivo. it won’t suggest things for me to record. i’m fine with that. once or twice a week i go through the upcoming listings presented by the on-screen guide and select a few shows to record. the shows i plan to record are listed here, with some editorial comment. please note that channel numbers listed are for time warner digital cable in brooklyn, ny.

if there's something worth recording that i neglect to mention (or if you think there's a website worth checking out) e-mail me - marc726 [at] hotmail [dot] com.
