Rarely although I do save them to my PC

Yes, it's now a 120 hour unit

Probably about the same although I now get to watch much more of what I
want to see. Now that the Olympics are on I think I've found the
"kill-app" for RTV, there's just nothing like recording 60 hours of the
Olympics and skipping right to the events you want to see.

Huges HD DirecTiVo, August 2004. No upgrade, no hacks.

Do you skip commercials? Always

Do you share shows with others over broadband? Only room to room.

Do you save any shows to CD or DVD? Yes

Since owning a DVR, would you say you watch more? Yes.
