Whoops - should read 'Jan 19, 2010' both times in the 4th paragraph.
Just to illustrate the benefit of the Program-guide-based-DVR, I'd been recording Mythbusters new episodes every week on Discovery. The new episodes had been aired on Wednesdays at 9. After Christmas, they switched the new episodes to Monday at 8. The DVR didn't miss a beat - or an episode - switching seamlessly over to the Monday airings, and I didn't have to touch a thing. Try that with a conventional VCR/DVD recorder or timer-based DVR...
Also, with a DVR & program guide, you can set recordings up by keywords. So if a word, let's say, "Sweden", shows up in the titles or descriptions of a program, it gets recorded. So you might end up with programs on Swedish culture, travel, finances, companies, movies that were made in or about Sweden.
I was a Luddite about DVRs. Until I got one...
