Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I'm trying to work out if it's Time Warner or a dying TiVo that's messing with my recordings--are streams of mega-pixellation on the picture any indicator of, say, corrupted files?
I'd figure there'd be some sort of integrity check that would error out and not try and display the recording, but it's not a sort of cable reception error I've seen before, and I'd rather not make a cable guy appointment if I don't really have to.
Also, a pain in the neck to replicate for servicemen...unless the TiVo recording counts.
It may be worth it to clear out the aging episodes as much as possible -- the pixiliation might be the result of mondo-fragmented files.
My Tivo went through a phase like that, but I'm pretty sure it was TWC's fault, because it wasn't happening on every channel.
My computer is acting weird. When I try to shut a browser window, it won't shut, and that window freezes. The only way I can shut it is with Ctrl+Alt+Delete, which shuts every browser window, even when I only choose one. Everything else with the computer is working fine. Any suggestions for a fix?
Dump all the browser history & cache?

I just tried that and restarted the computer. It didn't work. I have also run ad-aware a number of times.

Does a G4 iBook have a separate battery that maintains the clock? or is that based on the regular battery?
Not sure about the iBook, but my G4 PowerBook does not have a separate battery. When I let the main one run down the time is reset.
A friend's iBook has recently started losing its time. So yeah, sounds like new battery time.
