Family Night: Entertainment Provided By the DVR

Guest post from: Constance Rodgers

It is really quite difficult to get everyone's schedule to flow in a way that enables everyone to have free time at the same time. Designating one evening a week, more if possible, is a great way to bring the family together for leisure activity. Satellite tv from www.directstartv.com offers numerous programming options but invariably some of the family favorites will be on on the evenings when everyone is busy. The DVR allows us to record those favorite movies or programs to enjoy on family night. Not everyone likes the same type of programs. By recording everyone's favorite show, there will be a time when their favorite program will be the "featured program" of family night. This teaches everyone respect for others as they wait for their special program to be featured.

A big bowl of popcorn, some cups of hot cocoa, and some great family movies recorded on the DVR is a budget friendly way to spend a chilly winter evening or snowy weekend. And on those dreaded sick days when a cold or flu disrupts the joy of feeling well, the DVR is a lifesaver. When watching recorded programs, it doesn't mater if I doze off from the affect of cold medicine. Whenever I'm ready to focus on the tv again I can rewind, push play, and never miss a thing.
