I do not own a DVR. I watch nothing on TV except for live sports and the occasional news.

Shakes wants to walk around with a brick phone so he can have a few shows on DVR. I have Hulu for free through Sprint, Netflix free through Xomcast and OnDemand has never been better. The only thing that would be a DVR must would be a Bears game and I almost never miss one.

Even with OnDemand etc you still have to deal with commercials. Same with sporting events sans DVR. You really cool with watching all sporting events live and with all commercials?

I couldn't watch the Bears if it wasn't live or I would have to go off the grid to prevent folks from ruining it for me. Anything else I really don't care. I'm usually doing 20 things at once (except when the Bears play) so a commercial break doesn't usually bother me.

Pretty much just live sports for me.

For argument sake, let's say if you need a cell for work you can still have a basic cell phone that can only be used for work purposes.

So which one would you choose if you had to choose one and never again use the other?

For me the answer is obvious. No way could I live without a DVR. I could live without a cell phone. Only area that would suffer is I like to use Waze for traffic, but I guess I could just use the GPS built into my car.

Lol, streaming makes DVR pointless.

I hate talking on the phone, but a dvr hasn't proven to be worth more than the occasional benefit.

95% of the time I'm on the phone I'm online, so cellphone.

I stream music on my phone 80% if the day at work, and quite a bit on the weekends too. Adios, DVR.

DVR? Isn't that just a standard part of a cable box nowadays?

No shit...to be fair, it's still the mid 90's in Wisconsin.

Say what you will about Wisconsin, I like it up here. I am very hesitant to embrace technology it's true. I am betting a lot of millenials couldn't
even read a map if I gave them one. SAD

No one tell T-Bone how Google Maps works.

The cellphone has totally annihilated my God given directional instincts.
