Get Mom hooked up with a TiVo or something similar.
This I can probably do. I'll see what she keeps with her cable plan and maybe just get her hooked up with their DVR.
I finally got Mom to try out the DVR from the WOW cable company. I've mentioned it a few times but...
The other week they were coming out to work on something else and I got her to call them back and get her a DVR (I think she's actually got it in her new plan). So far it seems to be working for her. It's automagically getting her soap opera and that's what matters. And I know she's used it to record a few other shows!
