I instructed my TiVo to record the All-Star game the other night. Judge of my annoyance when I found out it recorded nothing, nada, not a second.
Turns out if the antenna (we don’t have cable) is disconnected and reconnected, the TiVo loses its mind and can’t find any channels anymore. Rather than explain that somehow, either in its conversations with the Mothership or as a console message, it blithely accepts new instructions and just drops them on the floor.
Excellent.
But as it turns out, the game was available from iTunes for $1.99, commercial-free. So I was able to redeem myself in the eyes of my young baseball fan.
Anyone else have this problem?
At some point I have to figure out how to integrate TiVo and the iTunes media: I think a network card for the TiVo is all the stands in my way.
