    I don’t know what the heck is going on but I’m having trouble getting Days recorded.  I found several times last week it wasn’t on the DVR and had to watch it on SoapNet.  Now today, it recorded the first 13 minutes on the regular NBC channel, then switeched over to the HDTV channel and recorded for another 9, then quit all together.  It’s just a good thing I decided to watch it before it was over or I wouldn’t have noticed this.  As it was, I missed about 15 minutes of it while I was watching the recording.  Grrrrrr.  How do you disposses (unposses?) a TV/DVR?

    computerized are going to get gremlins and glitches in them at times causing us to gritch!  But the cable and sat. companies will bring out a new one for you.  Just tell them you want it sooner than soon so you don’t have to wait for them for four or five days.

    "redone" (or whatever the technical term is), the companies don’t give out new ones too often.  And my take, is, like most or all computerized things now days – they were not made in the good ol’ USA.

     Which means they are broken and repaired over and over???   I had a gremlin last week – I could see the video but no audio!  I was not a happy camper as the show wasn’t on again after I tried to watch!

    cannot be rewired or rechipped or re-what-ever…then and only then will a "new" one be handed out to the customers.  Even if the exterior that comes in a box and is all nice and shiney…the interior is used.

    came "pre-programed."  When they refurbished it, they didn’t even bother to remove the last person’s programming so I had to clean out a whole ***t-load of stuff before I could put my own selections in.

    I have about five movies on mine that I want to watch before I ask for a new one.  I think this time I’m going to demand I get a new DVR and not a refurbished one.  I’ve only had HDTV for about three or four years so this is almost one per year.

    I’ve threatened to switch to a dish but, in spite of claiming "free" installation, it was going to cost me $1,000 ($250 per set) to have it installed in the attic and inside the walls…instead of running outside the house, then across the ceiling and down outside of the walls.
