Hey Denny, I left my DVR in Ohio. I can give ya a website, and some simple instructions, so you can download pretty much anything you ever wanted to watch. Fact is, I hardly ever watch a television broadcast at all anymore. The day after the show airs, I download it, and watch it at my leisure. Leftme know if you're interested.

Yeah. It isn't Hulu or something like that is it? ;)

If I could watch Iron Chef America, Chopped, and Throwdown whenever I wanted to, I'd be a happy guy!  Those are what keep me from getting bored while I'm on my treadmill.

Check out DirecTV.  If you have a clear view of the sky towards the southwest from where you are you should be able to see the satellite. They offer some great new subscriber deals, including DVRs.  I've tried many services and DirecTV is my hands-down favorite.

WARNING!!!  Once you've DVRed you'll never watch TV in real time again.

Euge, I really don't want to pay a monthly fee like Tivo.  Yeah, I know I'm being difficult!
Chances are, if you got a DVR from a cable supplier, you'd pay as much or more than you'd pay to TIVO each month.  In addition, with TIVO, you could keep the service you have, exactly as it is now.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the Food Network shows are available from any legitimate online source (Hulu, iTunes, etc.).

Hulu has a few Food Network things.  I had DirecTV  out for a site survey...no go.  And for less than a year of Tivo I can buy a DVD recorder that uses RW disks.  That's likely what I'll do.

How about this one? I don't have any personal knowledge of it, but it sounds like what you're looking for.

Our internet is wireless and we live where cable is not an option.
Planning on soon upgrading to ROKU a streaming media player
since we have a scrip to Netflix, we will be watching whatever we want
when we want and no commercials...this box seems to be the answer
as you are not just trapped with netflix but can stream a lot of other stuff
as well and Pandora radio

http://www.roku.com/netflixplayer/default.aspx?utm_source=NFLX&utm_medium=NRD%2B&utm_campaign=HT

Has not happened yet, but it will soon.

Thanks for suggestions.  I'd looked at the Channel Master, but it only does OTA digital and I've got analog cable.  I decided to order a DVD recorder that uses RW disks...http://us.toshiba.com/video-electronics/dvd-players/dr570 .

No, he lives in Oregon.  I had the same thing.  Direct TV would only serve me if I climbed about 40' up a few Douglas Firs and cut off some branches.
