One of the great performances. So happy it will be preserved.

Don't the HBO shows end up on DVD at some point?

700 Sundays in DVD, yes. Usually not Blu-Ray, you have to buy a digital copy for HD, or you know, figure out how to download an HD version the day after it airs through more sordid channels.

Isn't HBO starting a streaming service soon?

This will probably be on there.

I believe they're launching in at some point in 2015. Until the, get somebody's HBOGo password!

Came out of the blue.

I thought it would be done @ Circle. No clue it was being done in new Orleans.

Used to be able to get it off TV & burn it to dvd. No more. You can dvr it but that is it.

If you have an HD copy on a DVR, what is the advantage of downgrading it to a SD DVD?

I'm not sure which I'm sadder about: the fact I don't get HBO as part of my cable plan, or the fact this is being filmed in my neck of the woods and there's no way I can get tickets (according to nola.com, they were 'privately distributed').

I have so many dvds now I will never be able to watch them I am not a big advocate of having to get HD. If I could burn it to a dvd fine. I cannot so I am content with seeing it live.

It's nice to have it on an actual DVD, that's all. I got a new cable box a few weeks ago that's much faster, and has a ton of space. But, I had to give up my DVR that had Carousel on it. Lincoln Center doesn't sell it, and I wish I could have copied it to a DVD.

That is the big downside of DVR. If you have stuff stored on it & you have to replace it you are out of luck. DVD may be antiquated but it is a physical copy you have.

I used to just order HBO for one day when there was something that I wanted to watch on it and then cancel it the next day. That way there was only a charge of like 50 cents or something like that on the bill. Not sure if you can still do that, but it's worth trying.

Excellent. Very good news. My fingers are crossed that this doesn't get fouled up in translation to TV.

I don't think it is pro-rated anymore. You pay for the month, and even if you cancel it, you would still have access to the rest of that month. That's how Netflix does it, too. I only join when House of Cards or Orange Is The New Black has a new season.

Yes! I just listened to the recording last night and was reminded how wonderful this show was- I'm so happy that it'll live on!

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
