To say a PVR / DVR is life-changing is an understatement. My work schedule is crazy meaning I miss most regular TV shows. If I miss an episode then the series loses meaning.
I bought a DVR some years back and that was cool. The PVR adds the TV schedules to the mix making setting up recordings all the more easy.
Here's my weekly recording schedule:
Sunday:
Idols - South Africa - MNET - 17h30
Carte Blanche - news / actuality - MNET - 19h00
Monday:
Jamie's Kitchen - BBC Lifestyle - 18h30
Idols results show - MNET - 19h00
SuperRugby - KykNet - 20h30
Tuesday:
The Amazing Race - SABC 3 - 19h30
Special Assignment - news / actuality - SABC3 - 21h30
3rd Degree - new / actuality - eTV - 21h30
Wednesday:
American Idol - Series Channel - 19h00
Hells Kitchen - BBC Lifestyle - 18h30
Skins - BBC Entertainment - 20h30
Thursday:
American Idol - Series Channel - 19h00
Boots & All - Supersport 1 - 20h30
Other regulars are rugby and cricket, Masterchef and pretty much any food TV.
A big advantage of a PVR over a DVR is the ability to record three different channels and watch a fourth.
The other awesome thing about PVRing is the ability to pause and rewind live TV and clearly skipping ads.
The problem is now finding time to watch all this stuff....

Is South Africa ready for prime time gay TV?
It wasn't that long ago that South Africa lived in censored world where a magazine called Scope was the closest we came to porn.
Now we are one of the most liberal countries in the world, although there are certainly places you'd get beaten up for being gay.
The word has moved rapidly along over the last 15 years too. And gay life is explored in "Queer as Folk" (UK and US versions) and in Skins (currently available on BBC Entertainment on the DSTV platform in South Africa.

Tonight's Skins episode about Maxxie, the gay character in Skins, might have had a few South Africans hot under the collar (for different reasons) featuring a gay kiss and blow job between teenage boys (the crazy hot Nicholas Hoult - About A Boy - and even hotter Mitch Hewer).

This however would be nothing compared to the few holds barred Queer As Folk. The reason I found out about this was finding out more about the crazily good looking Charlie Hunnam from Green Street Hooligans. The excerpts on YouTube would certainly raise a few temperatures in SA.
But this is probably all healthy, exposing people to what is just another life they didn't understand.
