Be Kind. Review Within 24 Hours!
Are you kidding me? Apparently I’m a little behind the curve on this news. Last night, my DIRECTV DVR list included a message regarding the recording of Pay Per View movies to my DVR. The message reads as follows:
Effective April 15, 2008, DVR recordings of PPV movies will be available for 24 hours of unlimited viewing after purchase. Major movie studios have required that satellite and cable providers alike may no longer allow their customers to view these recordings for longer than 24 hours. During the 24 hour viewing period, you will continue to enjoy all of your DVR features such as pause and rewind.
Um. Why on earth would anyone purchase a movie and record it to their DVR when in the same timeframe, they could hit up Blockbuster Online or Netflix for a movie…and then keep that movie for days without late fees? Luckily the movies I have stored on my DVR already won’t be deleted.
I can see it now. No more fast forwarding through commercials.

Earnings are better. But I won’t get rich. This is simply what I enjoy doing with my spare time…and there hasn’t been too much of it lately. But I’ll be back to daily posts soon. I’ll stop by AlleNation soon! Thanks for remembering.
