How behind are you in your DVR watching?

Summer is here. But it seems like not many people in this forum are caught up with their shows. Now alot of Summer original scripted programming slowly creeping around the corner.

Just wanted to see how many here are struggling to keep up or if your caught up.


**People who torrent shit or watch shit streaming in front of their PC don't count. You have to own a DVR and actually record stuff off OTA or Cable/Satellite. **

Re: How behind are you in your DVR watching?

My wife and I are probably 10-20 hours behind on our shows, but it's mainly because the NBA playoffs have been monopolizing our TV time the last few weeks. As soon as there's a break we'll probably catch up relatively quickly.

Re: How behind are you in your DVR watching?

I'm about 40 hours behind. I have 2 DVRs and with me working 3:30am to 12:30pm Monday-Friday, I don't have alot of energy to watch alot of stuff during the week. I try to plow through most of it during the weekend. I am able to watch maybe 1-3 shows during the week before I hit the sack by 9:30pm.

Re: How behind are you in your DVR watching?

Personally I'm only six hours behind (Hatfields and McCoys). My folks on the other hand have about 25 hours worth of Blue Bloods, Hawaii Five-0, Body of Proof and Hot in Cleveland to sit through.

Re: How behind are you in your DVR watching?

My DVR is at about 33% empty. I have the entire season of "Being Human," "Game of Thrones," and "Veep" (not to mention half of "Once Upon a Time") sitting on there waiting for a rainy day. Beyond them I'm probably 2 weeks behind on most shows.

Just dumped all of Touch. Watched a couple and decided to pass on it. Got the finale of Person of Interest and all of Hell on Wheels to check out.

10 episodes of Smash, and half of the American Idol finale. I'd have Food Network Star too if not for On Demand.

Re: How behind are you in your DVR watching?

I'm down to about 20% full, with only SD programs (movies from TCM and a few Daily Shows) and a couple of episodes of Frozen Planet. I'm already trying to decide whether to pull the plug on Teen Wolf after two episodes this season. Maybe I can get to my backlog of DVDs this summer.

The NBA playoffs are about 3 months long aren't they? They just seem to last forever, almost as long as one baseball game.

I only have one show on it, but we just got DVR a month ago

Re: How behind are you in your DVR watching?

Almost all caught up (just a few random "lock Ups" and "Mythbusters"). I blasted through pretty fast and now have nothing to watch. I finally hooked up Netflix to the big TV and just finished Sherlock season 1... I now have nothing.

Re: How behind are you in your DVR watching?

I'm all caught up. I cut out a number of shows, so that helped a lot. Of course, I'm adding like six new shows this fall, so I'll be behind again in no time.

Re: How behind are you in your DVR watching?

I received three months of free movie channels when I signed up for DirectTV last year. At that time, I recorded a bunch of movies. That's most of what's on my DVR right now. Have to be in the mood. At some point I'm sure I'll want to watch The Social Network, right?

Re: How behind are you in your DVR watching?

I take care of the few shows I record relatively quickly. I've got a DVR full of movies. I slowly sift through them, deleting ones that I'll never watch again. With the free preview of HBO/Cinemax this weekend, I imagine I'll be at capacity again by Monday.
