Record more

[Armchair Expert]

then you can watch.

i notice my new virgin recorder is nearly full of interesting stuff i want to watch one day, my old recorder is full. In addition i have lots and lots of box sets, some i bought myself some i got as presents and video tapes everywhere.

when will i get time to watch it all?

anyone else, is there anyone that can give tips on how to manage this, any self help groups maybe?

I don't bother recording. I just make use of the various catch-up services.

The only downside of that for me is that you still have to put up with commercial breaks. I'd rather record so you jump through the breaks.

My Sky Q box has almost 2TB of recordings that I can't keep up with. Im gradually transferring certain recordings to my laptop and onto external hard drive to keep for the future, usually stuff that won't be shown again.

Interesting. I wonder if there's such a phenomenon as "digital hoarding"

In the same way as people used to have hundreds of DVDs - some still have. Aside Disney for childcare, How many actually got watched more than once?

Same here. Got a Virgin box full of stuff.

Brought it on myself by getting the full box set of Mash. Just started watching series 9. 200+ episodes at 3 or 4 a night means the Virgin box is backing up

Get Sky Go, then you can download everything on catch-up with the adverts neatly cropped out so you don't even have to FF through them.
