Ice/Wind + DVR = Bummer
I just wanted to vent that along with an ice and wind storm last night we lost power. Power wasn't restored until 9:30 this morning. Worse even than losing the furnace was it went out towards the end of our watching The Departed on HD-DVD and I missed my DVR recording of the first SNL I was actually looking forward to this season. Bummer!

It sounds to me like the inclusion of DVR in this thread is pretty arbitrary. Ice/Wind + cable, + VCR, or just + TV would have pretty much the same impact. It's not as though any of them are likely to work in most homes during a power outage.

Yeah, but you also need to cover/black-out all the windows so your neighbors don't know you've got power. Else they'll be knocking on your door to watch TV, cook their food, keep themselves from freezing to death, and other inconveniences. F that!
