Thanks to a service update, my Tivo no longer works properly–it’s been sluggish since the update, and now has taken to crashing mid-show. (This has happened to several other Tivo users as a result of the update, according to tech support.) They’re going to send me a new box, but man, what a pain in the ass. And think of all the wonderful programming I’ve been storing that I’m going to lose! Ah, well. Actually, it’s not a huge deal about the saved programs, as the box is still working well enough that I can transfer stuff to my PC. But in the meantime, while I’m waiting for the new box to arrive, I’m going to have to transfer everything manually over to my PC to watch it. Or–gasp!–watch it live. No! I can’t! Anything but that!
