It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, I suppose if I actually used iTunes as my primary music listening program and rated songs and everything, it would be better, but I can make playlists manually! I will choose my favorites with my choices!

I had to store my itunes library on an external hard drive because my air just couldn't handle it any longer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why would give that an exclamation point?

Mine's been on the NAS since forever. But it also fits on my iPod, so it's all good.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Tell me if that helps.

You have got to be kidding me. That worked. Everything works now. Including the previously recorded shows.

Not that I doubted there was a reboot that would likely work, I just can't believe I wasted my time with Time Warner.

I've marked that post. Thank you so much.

I also suggest unplugging the DVR for about 30 seconds and plugging it back in before rebooting, for maximum rebootage.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Does anyone have Time Warner and use their dvr service?
Oh My. I had so many issues with TW when I was in Texas. They are the worst. I thought Charter was annoying. Charter is GOLDEN compared to TW. I suggest you call your local city government that deals with utilities. Cable has a zone monopoly at the discretion of city governments (I think that's how it's phrased). Let them know that you are having customer service issues, and are frustrated by the lack of competition in the area. It might help get FIOS or U-Verse fiber lines run.

Glad to hear the simple solution worked. I would add on to P-C's recomondation. I would say 2 minutes with power disconnected. It's amazing how many times I had to do that with TW cable box/dvr. Worked everytime. Turn everything off, kill power. Go get a glass of water. Check your phone. Power it back up. Good to go.

Cass,

there is a reason I recommended that sequence to help your DVR. I had to do that to mine!

Well, that was what I'd tried a few times before contacting them.

And le nubian for the total win. It was magic.

ND is me.

P-C: That sounds exactly right. I've always had way too much music on my iTunes to synch everything, so I've always used the playlist route.
