I seldom watch anything live.

Yup.
This time of year we spend a bit too much time avoiding a cool damp climate watching the boob tube, especially at night.
Wife and I both have what the cable company call a POV cable recorder box on our TVs.
We record what we want for later viewing. The main reason for this is the insufferable commercials.
At one time they were somewhat regulated in frequency and duration but that seems to have eroded over the years.

What does 'POV' mean. My company, Cox, calls it a 'DVR' box for
Digital Video Recorder.

Just wondered.
