how do people survive w/o a techie in the house?
Sunday night I noticed that our Tivo HD box had not recorded any new movies. I checked and discovered that the entire To-Do list was suspended, with a message next to each entry saying no shows found. But on clicking through, clearly there were lots of upcoming shows. Being a programmer gives me a high chance of solving these kinds of things quickly, because I can guess what the nature of the bug is. I went to the Season Pass page and reordered one of the shows to be above another show. Saved. And voila, the to-do list was repopulated.
A happy ending in just a few minutes, but what happens to all the other poor sobs who don’t have a programmer lying around? I assumed that Tivo had pushed some new software down, and sure enough, last night I had a message that I can now play YouTube videos on my Tivo. That’s cool, but for some I wonder if that’s all they can play without a lot of pain!
