Cable hates me
My DVR box has stopped recording any series on Comedy Central. Since I tape Daily Show and Colbert, this is very annoying. They can't get it to work from Time-Warner central, so they're sending someone out here to steal my box.
I have 20+ hours of viewing on here, from being out of town two months and trying to keep up with current things and whittle away at this stuff. Of course I will lose it all, because I do not have time to watch it all today. (Have made a valiant attempt since the appointment was made.)
This box never has worked well. It constantly resets itself, causing me to lose episodes and not know what's going on. I gave up on Fringe, after missing six episodes.
The whole idea of DVR is that I should not have to tend it constantly, after setting it. If I have to check every time I want something taped -- or every time I leave town for five minutes (and I DID check, and according to the DVR, it's recording these series just fine, thanks) then what is the point?
They are not going to make it hard for me to cancel my cable when I move. I'll just let Internet plans duke it out.
In the meantime, there's a PBS special on the War of 1812 I need to see.

Our DVR has trouble with Comedy Central too. I wonder if Comedy Central is the problem. Their ideas of timing are fairly lackadaisical sometimes.
