DVR Bound

Alright, I missed a couple days.. at least they weren't consecutive. I picked up a DirecTV dual-tuner DVR & will be hooking it up tomorrow. It was free with a rebate & a good friend hooked me up with a dual LNB & some quad-shielded cable. I only have to pay an extra $6/mo for a good step up in programming convenience. The worst case for the deal could have been about $150 but its a good thing I don't gettin' lubed up the wazzu & did my homework instead. In all, I'll be out the tax on the $100 unit which amounts to roughly 9 clams.

I've been considering the jump into NetFlix. I figure I could save hundred of dollars per annum by joining up by NOT having to buy those movies I end up trading back in at a fair loss. I could simply purchase the movies I REALLY want to keep forever like LOTR etc. I'm behind on the new releases 6 months or so anyway so we can still watch near 10 titles each month. Furthermore, $10/mo for NetFlix beats the hell out of any premium package through satellite.

I worked a few hours today even though it was my regular day off. We have some important deadlines at work this next week. Now I have some time to take off so that I may shop for Christmas.
