Whatever do you mean? I've always done it mostly by hand, granted it wasn't
all that hard. Just time consuming downloading and then copying it to my shared
media folder.

Or are you referring to hitting the record button on the VCR? :D

I just came to that realization when this thread started, to be honest.
Started looking at what we all had and asked the rest of the family what I can
get rid of. Come to find out we get MAX from our AT&T cell package for free,
yet still pay for Discovery+. That one was cancelled immediately. Within the
next 24 hours I had 3-4 emails from them begging me to come back with offers up
to 50% off for the first few months.
