Trudy and Steve surprised us with:
Now we have HD and can instant replay live tv, watch one program and record another. We can also record our favorite programs while we sleep. Because of the DVR, I began to investigate the settings for our TV and found that it was at 720 resolution and not 1080. So I set it to 1080. Then the DVR made the suggestion that I bump it up to 1080. IT'S INCREDIBLE! Now I have to find out how to make HD DVD's from our recorded programs.Mom Surprised me too:
She ok'ed the purchase of two hearing aids, a red one and a blue one and now I can actually hear the tv without turning the volume too high. My grand children don't mumble any more. (Strange) The generosity of my loved ones is overwhelming.At church they have listening devices that amplify only the sounds that come from the microphone, making it so that I can actually understand the speakers now. Boy was I handicapped while teaching Gospel Doctrine for two years.
I am really in "Fat City" in more ways than one!
I'm the most excited about the hearing aids!!! YEAH!!!! You did well this year!!!
ReplyDeleteYay for you!! So Avatar was even better when you can hear it I am sure ;) That is great!
ReplyDeleteI told George we should check into DVR, is that the one that takes out commercials too? Maybe I am confused, I just hate commercials so I want the one that takes out commercials and records programs :) I'm really not spoiled ;)
Yes, I am really glad to have hearing aids. They squeal when I chew.
ReplyDeleteI wore them to the breakfast table this morning so I could converse with Stevie. I could hear all the noises in the house. Mom's computer fan around the corner, the furnace air, the fridge etc. but when I started to chew, squeal squeal right in time with my chewing. So I took them out.
The house fell silent except for a low hum. I didn't know how bad my ears were.
Lora, Our DVR doesn't do anything about commercials, but we can fast forward through them in a recorded program, which helps a lot. But I have heard that there are some which zap the commercials.
This one says it does:
