Leno Losing Audience to DVR's
- Thread starter landtuna
- Start date
I just saw it in a real paper, on paper, and I guess I do the same thing. With VCRs I fast-forward through the commercials, but ironically, I haven't figured out how to do that with TiVo. It doesn't matter because I enjoy commercials. I should learn how to zap them if I've seen them because sometimes I don't really have time to watch everything.
I'd probably enjoy Leno one night a week, but I'm trying to cut down on my TV watching.

Nothing ironic about it.

I sometimes enjoy commercials too, but the majority are still irritating. I also enjoy seeing TV shows I like in less than their full running times. For example, I can get through the Daily Show and Colbert Report in about 48 minutes. A couple times a week, I like to check out the Tonight Show, so I can speed search the commercials and the guest or guests I don't want to see.
It's very easy to speed search the commercials with my DVR, but I can't seem to "stop on a dime" like I used to with my old low tech VCR. Maybe my reflexes are getting slow in my late middle age. It's easy to overshoot the end of the commercial break, then have to back up and overshoot again in rewind. So I usually end up watching the last 20 or 30 seconds of the last commercial. It doesn't matter - it still save time.

I've just about got it mastered. If I had bothered to read the manual I would have gotten it but I just decided to tinker with the buttons I didn't have to use.philosofy said:
