History Channel: Lumberyard
JAT had started a thread a couple of months back regarding this
segment; it is going to be re-broadcast on Tuesday, January 31, 2006 at 10-11pm: Modern Marvels - The Lumberyard. At the center of the American Dream is the home--and at the center of its creation or renovation is the lumberyard. We'll explore the options lumberyards provide for builders and renovators--from natural to engineered woods. We'll show how plywood and pressed woods are made, trace exotic woods to jungle and desert, visit a special lumberyard that deals in recycled and antique woods, and go on an underwater expedition as divers locate ancient logs buried in the Great Lakes and New Zealand. We'll see how 50,000-year-old ancient Kauri wood is "mined" from a bog and is now all the rage among those who live in mansions and travel on yachts. From the lowly 2-by-4 used to build a tract home, to a reclaimed set of historic planks used to make a million-dollar bar in a 5-star hotel, this eye-opening program hits the nail right on the head. |

Yeah.... we need to know this stuff. Seriously, can't watch it but
sure would tape it. Don't give a crap about the lumber yards themselves but sure would like to see the salvage operation in process. Robert |

You really notice what a great product TiVo is when folks at work ask "Did you see that commercial...?" and the answer is "Actually, I haven't seen a commercial in months!" GGG Hell, some of the content is so bad that the commercials are the only thing worth watching. I am particularly fond of the Vonage commercials, the "what's in your wallet?" cast of characters, and the FedEx one with " ... we don't get French benefits".. .... not that I would Tivo them. Have Time Warner DVR, which is pretty much the same as Tivo. Be nice to record the Lumberyard program also (saw part of it by accident a couple of months back). Someone please post a heads-up, because TW's crystal ball won't let us see that far into the future. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 12/13/05 |

I don't even have to know when or where it's on, and skipping commercials couldn't be easier. So good, that I'd rather let TiVo save it and watch it later, rather than watching live TV. In an hour, I can watch a one hour show AND a half hour show. Since I only watch TV for an hour or so a night, in bed, I can see more. If I fall asleep, I can quickly pick up where I left off tomorrow night. I even got mine for free (including installation) by suggesting I was switching to the other satellite provider. Did you have them hook up the dual in puts so that you can record 2 different channels at the same time?? I learned when I had DirecTV Tivo installed a couple of years ago that the installer was not going to hook up both leads untill I told him that I wanted both leads. I wonder why any one would not want both leads unless they are not aware that DirecTV Tivo offers dual recording for the same price. Oddly the regular Tivo does not yet offer dual chanel recording. Now if they could only get the programing to go past 2 weeks in advance. You really notice what a great product TiVo is when folks at work ask "Did you see that commercial...?" and the answer is "Actually, I haven't seen a commercial in months!" GGG Oddly we have styarted watching comertials a little bit again. We need to keep up with what's going on in the world. LOL Yes, I know TiVo keeps track of what I watch, but so what. If that gets us more "Mythbusters", "Megastructures", televised pro cycling. or wooddorking shows, and I can watch them all commercial free, so be it! Yeah. WHO cares. |

"Swingman" wrote in message ... .. TW's DVR allows you to record two channels at once, but, and it makes sense I guess, you must be watching one of them. DirecTV TiVo lets you record 2 channels at once and watch a previously recorded show at the same time. Basically you have your choice of 3 things to watch while recording 2 different channels. |

"Ba r r y" wrote in message news That would be nice, but it's still REALLY cool! My wife and I cannot imagine going back to not using a dual line in DVR even after 2 years. We became hooked Oct 31, 2003. Oddly my sisters and brother in-laws say that they do not watch enough TV to justify getting one. They spend $45 per month for satellite TV and sill not cough another $5 for DVR programming. I keep telling them they will double their moneys worth of programming if they hooked one up and used it. |

TV is mostly a vast wasteland of crap not worth watching but the DVR sure improves the quality of what I do watch when I watch it. I have a backlog of stuff from Modern Marvels, Science Channel, etc for the time I want to view. Well worth the couple of dollars more a month. |

I grew rather fond of the Victoria Secret commercials a short while back. Well worth watching. Know what you mean .. even at my age. Actually, the thing that impresses me most about the current state of the commercial industry is the quality of the acting and the often offbeat, wry humor that is being written in. The Vonage commercial, where the girl is talking in the foreground while the dork (husband/boyfriend?) is dancing in a room in the background, is a perfect example ... the expression on her face is Academy Award stuff. .... they do need to work on the _lyrics_ of their theme song though! -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 12/13/05 |

"Odinn" wrote in message ... I'm looking at my DirecTiVo up through 2/1 and no Lumberyard in the Modern Marvels. There's gasoline, gas tech, et tech, brooklyn bridge, b-2 bomber, secrets of soviet space disasters, engineering disaster, banks, oil file fighting, more earthmovers, cannons, dynamite, the stock exchange, demolition, salt mines, nature tech: lightning, wiring america, logging tech, deap sea exporation, but no lumberyard. Good thing I've set a season pass, I'll eventually catch it. Now to get the MVR working between my 2 DirecTiVos (each with over 100 hrs). I found it. If you do a wish list and use the keyword search on Lumberyard it'll come up. |

Fri, Jan 20, 2006, 11:46pm (Odinn) doth sayeth: There's a Logging Tech on the 26th at 2am (EST). Yep, and I'll be watching it. Which will make at least three times I've seen it. Interesting. I've seen the lumberyard at least twoce. And, each time, I catch something I missed on it before. The nice thing is, if you miss them, they should be on again sooner or later. I'm looking forward to watching them again, along with the glue and paint shows, also. This is one case where I love reruns. JOAT If you can't say anything nice about someone, you must be talking about Hilary Clinton. This is the nice thing about TiVo. If you record something, you can watch it as many times as you want before you delete it. I love being able to turn on the TV, see something on that I want to see, but be already 20-25 minutes into it, hit the record button, and I can go back and see it from the beginning. -- Odinn RCOS #7 SENS BS ???
