when someone records two of their shows at a time on your DVR effectively forcing you to watch one or the other of the shows being recorded neither of which is something you like.

The difference between the viewing location of a TV program in real-time and the current viewing location using the pause or recording functions of a DVR.
We didn't start the show until it was about half-way over so we have about 15 minutes of DVR equity.

When a barely passable television show is considered a success by having it follow an established program that is often recorded.
Doug: "That show Chicago Code is so god awful the only reason it's survived this long into the season is because it's getting the DVR bump from House."

The feeling that accompanies a jam-packed queue of recorded shows on ones DVR in which a compulsion exists to watch all the programming and clear the list.
I'd love to come to that party where all our friends are going to be but my DVR Obligation is making me stay home so I can watch my shows. Ahhhhh...what happened to my life???

'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.

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??!?!??
