DVR'd

I DVR'd the season premier of Game of Thrones so I could watch it as many times as I'd like to.

DVR depression

(n.) When you set an important episode (i.e. the season finale) of your favorite show to record for the hour it's on, only to realize later as you watch that the show actually went to 10:02 instead of 10, and you missed the last 2 plot-crucial minutes. This then results in the DVR user being very bummed out/depressed.

This can also happen if your DVR runs out of space and ends the recording early.
<Josh> Man, I'm so bummed out.
<Jackson> Why?
<Josh> I missed the last two minutes of the season finale of LOST last night. Did you happen to catch it?
<Jackson> No, man. Sounds like you'll just have to deal with a tough case of DVR depression.

DVR catch-up

'DVD catch-up' is when, while recording a game or other TV event on your DVR, you start watching the recording from the beginning - and as you come to the ads, timeouts, etc., you fast-forward through them, thus slowly catching-up on the event in real time.
Uncle Tony is so good at DVR catch-up, he usually syncs up with real-time just after the final ad.

DVR

Digital Video Recorder

An electronic box that records your television shows onto a hard drive for viewing at anytime. The bigger the hard drive, the more hours it can record. You can easily fast forward, pause, and rewind while viewing these recorded programs. The quick fast forward allows you to easily skip through commercials saving precious time. Many DVRs have more than one TV tuner so you can record multiple programs at once.
Girl: Hey, I have to be home soon so I can watch America's Got Talent from 9 to 11pm.

Guy: You need to get a DVR girl, and watch it when you want! Nobody in their right mind sits for 2 hours and puts up with all those commercials anymore--and let's not forget the need to fast forward through some of those terrible acts!

DVR Credit

The term DVR credit is the time earned when you pause or rewind live television on your DVR. You subsequently spend your DVR credit to fast forward through the commercials, or unwanted content.

DVR credit has a maximum value equal to the total time of the commercials/ unwanted content. If you record beyond this maximum value you’re just watching recorded television.

The term DVR credit was coined by early DVR adopters, from Chicago, IL.
"Dinner is ready, pause the game and we're earn DVR credit while we eat."

"Ok, lets spend some of our DVR credit and skip this crappy half time show."

DVR blue-balled

When your DVR'ed program leaves you hanging because you had it set from the top of one hour to the next, except the program actually ran one minute over, leaving you without a clue as to what happened at the end. This is particularly frustrating when you DVR a series finale.
I have no freaking clue what happened on the final episode of Nip/Tuck because I set the DVR to record from 9-10:00pm, but it didn't really end until 10:01pm. Can someone please tell me what the hell happened at the airport since I got DVR blue-balled??!?!??
