See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hil, if you're still around, it's giving us a blank-ish screen. Still has the little TiVo logo in the upper left hand corner, and the "Now Playing" background screen, but no foreground, no menu, no nothing. When we push buttons on the remote the sensor lights on the DVR blink obligingly, but nothing happens. Internet is humming along cheerfully. Cable may possibly be out, but it's hard to tell, because with no menu and nothing happening no matter what we do to the remote, we can't get to the "Watch Live TV" option, let alone anything we had stored.
Of course, the DVD player is working fine and Hec just picked up the box set of "The Adventures of Pete and Pete," not to mention all the as-yet-unwatched Homicide and Millennium and seventy berjillion books, so it's not like we're starving for stimulation, but still. 'Tis baffling.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
JZ, I'm not sure exactly what the problem is there. Have you tried unplugging it for a minute and then plugging it in again? That frequently resolves Tivo weirdness.

::kisses her bad, bad, wandering lost TiVo all over, then shakes it, bursts into tears, hugs it, and sobs furiously, "Don't you EVER do that again, you hear me? I thought I'd lost you!"::
::also kisses Hil up and marries her and has her babies and names them all "TiVo is Hil's Bitch"::

JZ, that's what I would have recommended. Turn it all the way off and then on again, unplug and replug, and if worse comes to worst, restart it if you can.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The one TiVo problem I had that wouldn't fix itself like that, I had to disconnect the network adapter before it would behave. Worked just fine when I reattached it afterwards.
Don't know if you're networked up, but it's a thought.

I was just writing about my nephew in an email, because his baseball team just made the NCAA SuperRegionals, and he came on the national sports! Now, I know he's talented and brilliant and gorgeous, but to see that the rest of the world knows it (or at least a small subset of people I don't know at all) is just so exciting!
xpost with Bitches, cause I'm just so tickled.
