I loved how I could tape shows and skip through the commercials on my Replay TV.  But 15% of the time, my Replay failed to tape the corret channel and recently, when viewing recorded shows, the Replay would freeze or sputter.  Of course, this happened during off hours for Reaplay Tech Support, so I researched online and found that the likely remedy was to replace the hard drive.

Forget that.

Instead, I scheduled for Time Warner to hook up their DVR Service for $9/month.  Those cable installers are really fast, but not very smart.  My cable guy was going to use all those extra cords (with the yellow, white and red tips) and the A-B switch which my brother had instructed me to install for Replay.

When I happened to ask the cable guy if he could do away with all these extra cords, he said “sure.”  So why didn’t he do that in the first place?  Oh well.
