Word geekery time! I've got a DVR again now, and I plan on saving some shows to the hard drive at the time that they are broadcast, so that I may watch them at a later time of my choosing. I've been referring to this process as "taping" -- "I'll just tape that Christmas special" and so on. Elora enjoys pointing out to me that there is no physical tape involved, and the device in question is not a VCR. This is, of course, quite correct. Nevertheless, I can't get myself to say "recording" or whatever it is you're supposed to say. I know that "TiVo" has become a verb in some quarters, but I'm not about to do that, especially since my device isn't a TiVo.
So what verb do you use for transferring televised content to a storage medium?
question,
