In the last 4 years, up to this day, the cable companies have made a
big deal about a multiroom DVR.

Why?

For me, the appeal is that I can record 4 programs at the same time
with 2 boxes-- then watch any of the 4 wherever I want.

I'm on a TimeWarner system, and though the DVR's have the hardware- TW
hasn't implemented it yet.

Another benefit might be if my son or I happen to record something on
one TV- we can watch it on another. I don't have to go to his lair
to see his show- and he doesn't have to join the world to see mine.

If you're making the argument that a VCR is just as good as a DVR-
then I disagree with that whole premise entirely. The DVR wins hands
down on picture quality and navigability.
