winter/summer breaks and delete anything that gets cancelled. Thus we've stuck with Revenge and Suburgatory (yeah) but never started Alcatraz, Awake, etc. (wooo)

I was waiting on both Awake and Alcatraz too. -- nm - sycor May 11, 13:35
So, I want to build a networked DVR that I can watch from any of my tvs. What do I need? - spamlet (iPhone) May 11, 13:34 11
- Pick a platform (Linux, Windows, Mac) for your DVR and then get a software you like (MythTV, Windows Media Center, Sage TV, Elgato TV) - oblique May 11, 13:40 6
  - Okay, so... - spamlet May 11, 14:12 5
    - unless the computer will be outputting to the tv, you dont need the video card. - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:17 4
      - if you want the rokus to be able to see and play the shows - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:19 2
        
        But could I delete stuff I've watched from the Roku or would I need to access the actual server? -- nm - spamlet May 11, 14:20 1
        
        it should delete, here is a short thread about some optoins -- (link) - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 14:23
      - I...don't know. - spamlet May 11, 14:19
- the woot item from two days ago, a computer, and some software - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 13:38 1
  - if you wait til this summer, i could walk you through how to create one using a Raspberry pi, a usb drive - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 13:46
- century link & direct tv have that availible -- nm - peglegpete May 11, 13:35 1
  - I want to kill the rest of my cable bill. And two Tivos are more or less what I'm paying now for Uverse basic. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) May 11, 13:36
it seems Networks still haven't realized the impact the cancellation axe hanging over new shows does to their ratings -- nm - Beaker May 11, 13:31 10
- so many shows that I likely would have watched but figured they would get cancelled so why bother (OUAT, Grimm, Awake, Kings, etc etc) - Beaker May 11, 13:32 9
  - OUAT was the best new performer for ABC and Grimm ended up being NBCs best -- nm - Jovian May 11, 13:36
  - Wait, did OUAT and Grimm and Awake get cancelled? -- nm - sycor May 11, 13:33 5
    - I thought Grimm would be the first show cancelled this fall, and then ended up really enjoying it. -- nm - MDH May 11, 13:35 2
      - lol yep. so did everyone. The fact that it wasnt and was in fact one of the highest rated NBC shows is just awesome -- nm - Jovian May 11, 13:36
      - I was starting to get bored with it but they've really kicked it up a notch the last few episodes -- nm - sycor May 11, 13:36
    - Awake did, the other two are ones I got burned on -- nm - Beaker May 11, 13:35
    - Awake did -- nm - znufrii May 11, 13:34
  - *adds Kings to the list on B2* -- nm - znufrii May 11, 13:33 1
    - Seriously -- nm - con_carne May 11, 13:34
