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!
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.
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.
So if I am listening to my Nano on Shuffle, is there an easy way for me to listen to a specific song or songs and then go back to the Shuffle list? From what I can tell, if I go play a specific song, then it gets stuck in that Artist list, and I have to start over and Shuffle Songs again (meaning that I could listen to songs I just listened to).
Century Link also gives worse service than Comcast. When CL took over my phone company it only took me two months to get so sick of them that I switched to Comcast for phone too. Which saved money compared to CL but also provided better sound quality better service and more reliable voice selection. Yeah and old fashioned phone system works all the time, even when electricity is out - until someone who takes it over who won't do maintenance and then it goes out for 48 hours every time it rains. Which in Olympia WA means we were without phone service more often that we had it. In a few years Comcast may be left as the best service around, not because they are good ,but because everyone else ends up being so much worse.
Why do these companies get away with being so crap? I thought capitalist competition was supposed to mean excellence, right? Do they have local monopolies, or is there some kind of poor-service conspiracy, like price-fixing but for bad customer service?
