Here’s a list of some of my favorite primetime shows I watch. I’ve been pleased watching Elementary and The Big Bang Theory’s another top show. I’ve enjoyed the series and I look forward to each new episode when it comes on. It’s hard to watch all of them at the same time and it’s harder to record every channel. I used to have trouble trying to get all my primetime shows recorded, until my coworker at DISH told me about the Hopper DVR, and how I can use the PrimeTime Anytime feature to get all the primetime shows I could handle. I won’t tie up all the DVRs at home when I want to record my shows and everyone can still watch what they want. When the feature’s enabled I can get all four major networks recorded nightly. This has become one of my favorite uses for the Hopper and it’s made things in my home simple.
Go all off a cliff you spamming troll. No one wants to read your bullshit!
