I despise the way I consume TV and movies. I want a DVR or something just like it so badly. I can't keep track of what I'm watching or where I'm - Krusty May 19, 13:33 7

    - use the app TV Time. IT's a great service to keep track of what you've watched and were you left off. It's like a mini tv guide you can program -- nm - Remlik May 19, 13:41 3
      - Honestly, I won't update it. I know me and I'll get caught up with watching things and not update the app. - Krusty May 19, 13:52 2
