Klahn is being dishonest again. He knows that commercial DVDs manufactured
with data already on them are not erasable, he also knows that DVD+R/-Rs
are not erasable. Only, as you pointed out, DVD/RWs are erasable and then
they oare only erasable a certain amount of times.

Why anyone would buy DVD/RWs to record TV shows on instead of using a DVR
is a mystery. You can even build your own DVR out of an old PC using free
software.
