We got our cable today. I can't believe that Medford is so far behind the times as far as cable goes.
We can record 6 shows at a time and watch a 7th show live. Down in Medford(as much as I love Medford I did not like the cable company) they can record 2 shows at a time and watch a recorded show as the 3rd show.
We can also stream from up to 6 devices any recorded , live or on demand show or movie at any time from any where that we have internet.
Gee we don't even need a tv because we can set recordings from any where at any time from any device.
We get 100 mg internet is really fast.
and for more channels and faster internet we are paying less than 100 bucks. in Medford we were paying almost 200 bucks.

Lucky you, I can only dream of that level of service!
Yes I am Down Under and may as well be under a rock when it comes to internet services, television streaming etc. We are lucky to record 2 shows and watch one.
Enjoy your viewing

I moved away from Medford 8 years ago so no DVR back then, but I know I was paying just over $200 for Charter which was tv & internet. Here in S. TX our cable company (TWC) was the same as what you are describing - 2 recorded shows and watch the 3rd. We were paying around $200 for that. We got rid of everything but basic cable and internet for a year (25 channels, nothing else) to save money ($55) and then switched to satellite and now we get up to 6 channels recorded I think, as well as a LOT more space to save shows and movies in the queue, plus tons of channels, etc. We can also watch from anywhere we have internet access. We are paying $65 for that (including tax, etc.) but it doesn't include the internet.

Where are you now, and what is the cable carrier?
We are in Alberta, Canada. With Shaw Direct, for just over $100 CAD per month, for our 2 TV's, each with a receiver that will record 2 shows while we watch a recorded show, I guess we could record 3 and watch a 4th live if we could agree on what that 4th show would be LOL.
What we pay does not include our internet service, provided by another company, which costs an additional $70CAD per month.
Not sure what options we would have for what Shaw calls "free range" TV.
