Quite often I think
that there is someone running this universe however I get perplexed
thinking as to why this some one who build the universe and all
living beings gave me family members who have so different taste
from me specially when it comes to choice of viewing TV programs.
The TV viewing has
becomes a constant battle of the remote .When I want to watch a
cricket match my mom wants to see her favorite Soap, My Dad wants to
view the news and my little sister wants to watch and sing along a
music channel. I used to think that it is only my predicament however
this is the story of every household from my neighboring Sharma Ji to
the top floor Verma Ji the battle of the remote rules every household
from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
Once upon a time not
so long ago being able to record and playback the TV broadcasts used
to be one of the items on my wish list. Those were the golden times
when there were only a few channels vying for our attention. In those
days of Yore I did manage to get some time to watch television.
However with an exponential growth in the number of TV channels . My
share of TV viewing keeps going down with the launch of every new TV
channel. The funny part it even with so many channels around there is
so little entertainment available when I have the time to watch the
TV so the need of recording live TV has become an immediate
necessity.
If I could record
live TV then I would never miss a match as I could replay each match
and view it at will. Like any cricket lover I would never miss a six
hit by our Indian cricket team not would I miss out on any wickets
that our team scalps.
As an ardent cricket
lover who eats ,drinks and lives on cricket I feels pangs of
depression when our team loses a match specially the big tournaments
like the world cup. So playing back and viewing old match winning
game replays would be very therapeutic and uplifting experience for
me that would encourage me to record all the cricketing action where
team India is involved.
I feel I would be
able to help my mom a lot by using the recording feature as she would
not only be able to watch the daily soaps that she misses while
attending to the household chores. Also it would save her a lot of
time if I could skip or fast forward the ads in her daily soaps.
I have tried
dedicating songs to my friends in class however whenever the request
or dedication is played the person invariably is not present to view
the dedication. So if I record the dedication I can surely earn some
brownie points with friends while I playback the recording.
Another very
important thing that I would like to record and playback is old
classic movies that I find are invariably scheduled at very odd times
like way past midnight or during the day when I am not at home and
free to watch them. Since their rerun does not happen too often the
ability to record and playback the movies at a more suitable time
would be a boon for an ardent movie admirer like me.
Now I have found a
magic genie which has changed the whole scenario. No more the regrets for
the missed telecasts due to lack of time or power outages .Now there
are no ifs and buts. It is a yes all the way and a smooth sailing for me
with the new Tata Sky+ Transfer .With this tool in my hand I have
become the blue eyed boy of my family who is like a media mogul who
schedules and controls the entire program playback schedule
filled with programs that we want to see and that too at our
preferred time.
I am much in demand
now as all my family members want to see one or the others favorite
shows again or at a more convenient time. Now whenever me and my
family members want it becomes a prime time for us and the TV plays
only what we want to see.The even better part is I am no longer in need of the TV set to watch the recorder TV . I and my family can watch it on our own devices like the mobile, Laptop or the Tablet. Finally my TV is mine again
