life with the pvr: day seven

I can make my own titles and thumbnails for recorded programs in my hard disk recorder. It quite easy, actually, it was just hidden inside the "edit/delete records" menu. You type with the remote's arrow buttons on a screen with a picture of a keyboard. All my recs have titles now. I have also trimmed away material before and after the movies I have recorded, and selected nice stills as thumbnails for them.

What I find is that the news get very boring when they are recorded. The whole feeling of event is missing, and I suddenly realize how simple and shallow the newscasts are compared to the newspaper.

I am still deeply puzzled by the issue of different standby and off modes.
