bktheirregularThe DirecTV DVR that the family got last month is a marvel - it can even record one channel while watching another.
I should say, it's a marvel WHEN IT WORKS.
The past few days, it's gone completely bat-guano insane, refusing to change channels, and mistaking the "play recorded program" command for the "switch to previous channel" command.
I can maybe get it to work at times, by cajoling it, hammering the reset button, unplugging and plugging it in again ... but it's not reliable right now. *sigh*
And the worst part: I tried recording the new Battlestar, Resurrection Ship, Part 1, and I can't play it.
They're sending out a new DVR box in the next few days, but when it comes, anything we have recorded on the old box goes bye-bye.
Did anyone manage to record last Friday's Battlestar?
