I do nearly the opposite: I record every TV programme I want to watch, then |
| 10 |
watch it at my leisure. That way I can skip through all the adverts, which I |
| 11 |
loathe [1]. Freesat in the UK allows recording of radio series as well, which |
| 12 |
Sky cannot do, so it's easy to capture late-night series and listen to them at |
| 13 |
my convenience. I have something like 600 radio programmes on my satellite |
| 14 |
box. |

1. Mind you, UK TV adverts are nowhere near as gross as the screeching |
| 17 |
horrors I was subjected to in Minneapolis 30 years ago. |
