That would be the way to go if they offer it where you are. $5 a month to rent the box with Digital Video Recorder. You can set it to record "entire series" and it gets every show.

I've got ours set for "The Mole" and "Wind Tunnel"

In two years when new technology comes out you rented for $120 instead of owning something like an outdated Tivo.

If it breaks you get a new one, free.

If you want you can copy the shows over to VTR.
