Cable (digital) would be my solution, but for those like me who live in the woods it's not like a cable has been run. around here it's either crappy satellite or sorta-crappy
OTA depending on how much TV you watch. i'm lucky to be home long enough to catch Two and a Half Men or Frasier, so i don't need 250+ channels and i guess a VCR works fine save for the lack of pausing live TV and skipping those annoying commercials. with a VCR i would have to record one channel and with a
DVR i could record many. plus the advantage of one box for two TVs.
