I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If so, did you delete the non-HD stations?

That's what I did.

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

Do you use the green thumb record feature ever?

No, I don't. How do you think that might affect things?

I wonder if it knows I have another NBC, is all. If not, then it mightn't work. I don't use it that often, but I'm curious. I need a test.

I delete the duplicate channels. It's annoying when you're seeing "all episodes" of a show, and you figure out that it's not on 4 times, it's on twice on multiple channels.

But if you delete the non-HD channel, then you'd only ever be watching (and the TiVo would only ever think you have) the one NBC. So you're watching NBC-HD, the green thumbs-up appears, you press the green thumbs-up on the remote, and something on NBC-HD gets recorded later. Why mightn't that work?

Because if I'm watching NBC-HD and hit the green thumb remote it currently doesn't record on NBC-HD. Hopefully it's first come first serve.

Time Warner ships with a great deal of duplication. Makes them look like they're providing a great deal more channels than they are. Time for some spring cleaning and some experimentation.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Daniel, several themes on that page have the disappearing scroll bar issue.

Well, that stinks. Sorry about that.

Yep. It appears to be a known issue w/ third-party themes. I just wish the default weren't so freaking dark. I don't mind the graphical elements so much, but black text on a dark grey background is just unreadable.

Aha! I would assume that if you delete the other NBCs, it'll record the station you're watching, but we know what happens when you assume...
