if you ever get together with Harry Shearer you'll have plenty to talk about. i have a ReplayTV that's been working for around 9 years now. the HD DVR from my cableco has been working for almost 5 years. the 1st VCR i bought in 1978 (for close to $1k) needed new heads shortly after the warranty expired, a job that took several months for the parts to arrive and a few hundred dollars to fix). the problem with cableco dvrs these days is that unless you get a new one (unlikely) you are getting one that's probably been abused and then sent back out by the office. i try to tell my friends that the engineers designed those vents for a reason... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
