Well. Mr. Philips DVDR3390 DVD Recorder, I’m afraid I have some bad news. Our tests show that your over-the-air TV tuner will cease working on or around February 17, 2009. After that, if you want to continue receiving TV signals. you’ll need a digital TV receiver transplant. I’ll put you on the list, but it’ll be a long wait. I’ll be honest with you: some patients die waiting.

Now, your DVD±R/RW capabilities will be unaffected. You can go on playing and recording DVDs, VCDs, MP3 discs, and DivX files like before. But after February, you’ll have to learn to live without TV reception. That gives you about nine months until…until the end. My advice to you: make the most of every moment. Stay on for as many hours as you can every day. Record every celebrity dance-off, every sensitive family drama, even every infomercial. Because sooner than you think, the day will come when you won’t be able to, ever again. There’ll be plenty of time to bemoan your bad luck later. Now is the time to live.
