I’m watching television again, and I have to rev up the VCR for my viewings of “24,” Law & Order: SVU” and “Knights of Prosperity.” However, I still haven’t decided where “Heroes” will fit on my recording schedule. It’s on at the same time as “24” and I work at night. What is the most troubling is that the VCR has a mind of its own or I sometimes forget to rewind my tape in order to have full episodes.
It’s easier on some days when ABC has the episodes available to watch online, but NBC and FOX are so fickle about their streaming coverage. I used to rely on NBC for “Heroes,” but now there are two-minute video recaps online. And on Sunday, I only got the first five minutes of the “24” premiere. Plus, I can’t do any EP recording with my bad model of a TV/VCR.
At first, I immediately went to the ‘Net to find reviews and deals for TiVo or a DVR. I also found ways to make my own DVR, but I don’t have an old PC that can capture video. So, I began to factor out how much I would fork over for TiVo. Luckily, I had checked out the Electronics Guide published by “Consumer Reports” which stated that it’s not the best time to buy either of those with the approaching switch from analog to digital.
Now, I have to be more careful and willing to make sacrifices. Thank goodness for Amazon Unbox so that I could watch the missed “24” premiere.

i know that you can download episodes at heroes-forum.com, but i’m not sure if you can still do the same once the new ones come out.
