DVRs finally coming to Guam

I broke the news a couple of days ago about Guam's cable company moving towards an all-digital platform, and my larger interest, the introduction of Guam's first DVR.

This is a big challenge for us way out here in the Pacific: how to provide live (or near-live) programming while sticking to the same airing time as our friends in the mainland, while accounting for the time difference. MCV's got a pretty neat business plan - time-shifting the content such that the programming is aired locally at the same time as it would air on the U.S. West Coast, but the next day.

It hasn't been without its glitches since launch, but overall, I'm pleased with what I've seen. HDTVT right around the corner!

(And...ESPN Classic - finally! I watched a bit of the 1979 NCAA Championship game between a pre-Magic Michigan State's Earvin Johnson and Indiana State's Larry Bird. Cool as hell.)
