Lockdown
Like many people, we have a digital Freeview box - it can record two programmes at once and we can watch a third.
I remember when these first came into existence and we waved goodbye to the worn out workhorse VHS's. We no longer needed to understand how to programme a video recorder (which were all different from one another and somewhat tempermental). Now all one had to do was browse the digital tv guide and press one button, usually red, and bingo, RECORD. They were even smart enough to series link the recordings so you didn't have to remember to do it each week.
Genius.
Except if you're like me and don't want to miss out on any TV, you end up with a very full box, very fast.
Ours has been coasting at 9% for sometime. Yes that means that it has already been filled to 81% with recorded stuff.
It is occassionally quite amusing "Oh look, we must have recorded this in December - Christmas adverts" or "Gosh, they're dead now aren't they?"
I am trying to use this time in lockdown as constructively as possible and that means attacking that percentage. I am pleased to report it is now at 15%. This makes me very happy. But not as happy as 20% would...
I'll report back on any further progress
