DVR Hoarder

I currently have the last ep. of Game of Thrones, all of Halt and Catch Fire, and all of the Leftovers. In the movie dept I am currently stashing Falling Down and American Beauty. All content that I should be moved to watch and delete, but for some reason I don't.

There has to be some deep rooted psychological reason for this behavior, especially when most of it is available on demand. I often tend my DVR like a garden, weeding out things instead of watching them.

Are there any other tv disorders out there that I am unaware of? Do you yourself suffer from DVR Hoarding?

I like to stock up on several episodes of something and have a marathon watching. I don't know that it is abnormal. . . . . . . . . Is it?

I watch most TV shows within a day or two of the air date, but I always have a bunch of movies on my DVR. Some of them are even movies that I have on DVD, but I DVR them because I see them on the TV schedule so I want to watch them, and I'm too lazy to get up and put the DVD into the player.

I try to hoard too much but my DVR just deletes stuff on its own. I tried to watch True Blood from start to finish but the damn thing started deleting it before I could watch it all! Stupid DVR trying to break itself free from this obsession! This aggression will not stand.

Check your DVR's settings. My DVR automatically deletes TV shows after 7 episodes, or other stuff when the DVR thinks it's too full, but I can change the settings to force it to save stuff until I tell the DVR to delete it.

My DVR has a bunch of stuff, but has a limit.


I tend to clear it out after a while though by going over how much I watch the film I've recorded.




I only ever record films too.

"Hey there. Is your DVR full of things you should have already watched, but can't bring yourself to delete. Well, for an extra $10 a month, you can double your capacity to record media that you will never watch."

I'm terrible with this stuff. I had nearly all of Mad Men season 5 recorded when season 6 started. And I love Mad Men. Only this weekend I finished the last two episodes of Boardwalk Empire season 4, though I did struggle with Season 4, but still, it's taken forever. I've a few more episodes of stuff there, too, but I've cleared most of it.

I do have a good number of films to get through, though: The House I Live In, The Woman In The Fifth, House Of Tolerance, Calvaire, We Are What We Are, The Skin I Live In, The Act Of Killing, Ikiru, Black Snake Moan, Lone Star, Mistaken For Strangers and Punch-Drunk Love. I'm recording Animal Kingdom atm.

I imagine I will probably watch the last episode of Thrones, Saturday night before the new season starts.
