What do you do when your favourite tv programmes are on at the same time

Thanks for that, I found when we had a recorder I would record 1 show and watch the other but never got around to actually watching what I had recorded so that was hopeless lol.

well then there's no point in recording indeed :-) But I do watch the recorded progs. If you have the digital cable you can pause a show and watch something else and when you're done you can continue watching the other show. They recently started with this here (Belgium). Kinda cool feature though... ~MSD~

hmmm... yeah, i think i would put a new discussion on that. ^__^ yeah its annying when they're on commercials at the same time. when that happens, i channel surf. dont care if their eyes get sore. lol but they usually walk out when i do channel surfing and goes back when the program comes back so no one worries of getting a sore eye. ^__^

Hey that would make a great discussion on it's own (who rules the remote in your household) I do the same but it gets a bit annoying when they play the commercials at the same time.

Thanks for the comment, I love American Idol and hardly anything stops me from watching, but I know what you mean about seeing which is more interesting, tonight we had Without a Trace and Grey's Anatomy on at same time and I love both these shows, so had to do the flick over but find you miss too much of the thread of the story.

Thanks for the comment, I see there will be another dilemma soon as video players are nearly obselete do we keep all the old video tapes and then eventually have nothing to play them on or do we uptool and get dvds, players etc, then along comes another technology and we are stuck with a pile of dvds and nothing to play them on, the list is endless and unfortuately we want be able to get rid of all this stuff as nobody will buy it because they are doing the same as you, trying to get rid of it, so is it a good idea to tape all those programmes, never watch them because you don't have time or just forget about it all and just keep flicking the remote and changing channels.

It's interesting isn't it that such a small thing as watching a tv programme could bring such hostile responses from husbands,partners,family or whoever, we have two tvs and only sometimes decide to say I'll watch the one in the bedroom if you like, it seems we would rather have a discussion on why the tv is going backwards and forwards to two different channels, especially knowing you can't really get the whole story if you do, ah well I suppose some communication is better than none hey.
