I don't think so. It downloads, then says "processing". Then the screen flickers and everything disappears.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Okay, I went to take a photo to show you and suddenly, they are all there. Over a day after I downloaded them. Wtf?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Processing? Huh.
Can you find them by searching for the video name on that screen before the first screen of apps? If you can you can play them from there. If you can't then the problem is in the downloading, probably.
Have you rebooted?
Eta: I have no idea, but I'm glad they showed up!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lifehacker lists their top 5 web hosts (added recs in the comments): [link]
I am a little surprised Dreamhost is #1, just because I didn't expect I'd be using the #1, not that they suck or anything (admittedly I didn't get hacked in the last security violation).

Coding and Sleeping
I've been pretty happy with FatCow, but my needs aren't that involved with only a handful of domains doing simple stuff. I can't run an application server off of it, which would be nice though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
TV tech question - Zmayhem are pondering various cutting-cable-to-the-bare-minimum-with-tech-supplement options, and had almost totally decided on getting a Roku box, when an offer fell into our laps of possible indefinite borrowage of a Tivo Premiere, which would do all the same Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/YouTube/misc and whatnot streaming as the Roku.
I already know that Tivo's TOS won't let us just switch our Tivo enrollment over to the Premiere, so we're not planning on getting rid of our Series 2 and its lifetime membership. But does anyone know if we can still use the Premiere as a streaming device if it isn't signed up for a Tivo plan? If we'd just have to sign up for another membership to get access to the streaming, we'd be better off just getting the Roku. But if it'll work fine for streaming even if we're not using it for Tivoing, that'd be golden. Do any Techistas know which it is?

I think what you lose by not having a Tivo subscription is access to the listings. So you'd need to manually set the time and channel for every recording.

Oh, wait, you're asking about access to Netflix, and so on. Never mind!

So we really could just keep the other Tivo as a Tivo and use the Premiere as a big streaming box without needing a second subscription?

Our wings are not tired.
JZ, I don't think it will work. TiVo updated its OS so that basically without a TiVo subscription, it's just a dead box.
A Roku is about $70, Hulu Plus (which you will need a subscription for in order to stream it anywhere other than a regular computer) is 7.99/mo and I think I pay about that for Netflix, too.
