Is anybody into watching all that court tv stuff? (I guess it's called trutv now) Anyway, my question is: Now that the guy has been arrested and charged with the Hudson murders, how long is it until the trial being shown on tv now that there has been an arrest? Do you think it will be soon since it's high profile? Will it be shown at all on tv? This is one trial I want to see for myself.

NEW QUESTION I put a few things on ebay. (I am more a buyer than a seller). Never even thought about combined shipping so I never mentioned it in the description. One buyer bid and won 2 items. #1. Should I adjust the shipping fees (like make it combined shipping, even though it was not offered? And if so, how much?) #2. How do I adjust that on the ebay invoice? ETA: I think I figured #2 out. The items are clothing. I had $4.50 for shipping on each item, is adding $2 for the second item a fair deal???

Customer service is the #1 most important thing on Ebay. I ordered a set of books once and it was listed as missing one. After the auction ended, the gal found it and threw it in for free. I'd send a note that you ARE going to combine shipping and do it.

'Nother question: lately I have noticed that the things I buy on ebay (the clothes at least) are getting shipped in those bubble envelopes rather than boxes. Are they the standard to ship in now? The first time I got something in one I was worried that the items would be damaged, but all was okay. Would I be safe in mailing my ebay clothing out in these envelopes or is it better to use boxes?

I've ordered some clothing from stores, and they only ship it in plastic envelopes with no bubbles or padding, so I would think bubble envelopes are acceptable.

Amazon are now even shipping dvds and cds in bubble envelopes rather than boxes, and we haven't had a problem with any of them. I'd have thought clothing would be even less in need of a box, unless it's a hat or something like that.

Julie, I do a lot of buying from Lands' End. (You were right that day.) If an order doesn't amount to too much, it all comes in a heavy duty plastic bag. And sometimes even heavy duty paper. No bubbles involved. If I have to send a small clothing item (usually a return), I put it in a kitchen-type plastic bag and then a Tyvek mailing envelope.

Okay, we are about to slide sideways into the 21st century by getting a DVR for the television to record shows. NOT Tivo, not Comcast dealio. Just a recording machine, like the old VCR's (our old VCR broke, and they apparently don't sell them anymore). So, they record on DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW. You don't have to use a new DVD for each set of shows do you? Can you just use a DVD +R or -R, and it records over itself when you want to record something else and the disc is full? Thanks.

These DVRs are so smart that I'm sure it will tell you when it is full. I know ours tells us how much time is used of the 100 hours available. It's just like a mini computer.

Well, or, maybe I asked the wrong question. It appears DVR IS Tivo, but I am talking about a DVD recorder.

Hey I bought a combination VCR/DVD player not long ago, you should be able to find one.

Not looking for a VCR/DVD player. Looking for a DVD recorder and trying to understand how they work. Question is do you have to keep putting DVD's in and out, like you do video cassettes?

In other words, if I record Amazing Race and Desperate Housewives on a DVD+R and then watch both of them, do I have to throw away the recorded DVD+R and put in a new blank one? Or will it record over itself just like a VCR does with a cassette tape?

Juju, I'm not sure exactly of the functionality, but maybe something here will help? http://hometheater.about.com/od/dvdrecorderfaqs/f/dvdrecgfaq1.htm

Juju, unless you use DVD-RW, RW then you will have to use new ones every time. RW means re-writeable, the plain R writes once.

Heh, I have already been to that site, Karen. Looks like what we are going to have to get is a DVD/HDD recorder? About $300? I don't want to do anything fancy, just record some dang television programs while I am off somewhere. Just like we used to do in the old days when we all had VCR's? Spongebob, where are you? Just tell me what I want to buy? It is pure HELL being a Luddite on a television board.

A DVR isn't necessarily a TiVo but a TiVo is a DVR. It records to the hard drive and no discs are necessary. Each DVD Recorder is different. My brother has an older one, and it does not record once the disc is full unless he manually erases and makes more room. Not sure about the newer ones.

Thanks, Serate, I am getting closer. It looks like nowadays one wants something that records to a hard drive, no removable media. Or maybe you just use the removable media if you are recording something for Tess and are going to mail it off to her? LOL, sorry, folks.

My parents have a dvd recorder. It has a setting for the quality of the dvd recordings, (like on vcrs you used to be able to set long play or extended play) and that determines how often you need to change dvds or delete old recordings off them so that you can record new ones. I think the longest setting is four hours of tv on one dvd on theirs, but it's a year or more old now. It is a lot more bother than a traditional dvr because you have to remember to change dvds if you record a lot, and also to play the dvd on any other player you have to "burn" the dvd somehow (click a series of buttons but I don't know quite what they do) and then you can't rerecord on it again without deleting the whole thing. Unless you share dvds or really want to keep programmes for a long time I'd recommend you buy a dvr instead. With a dvr you can record for 40 hours (some are up to 100 hours these days) without having to change anything. The catch of course is you have to watch them on that one tv.
