Yes
that’s right…my TIVO is an idiot.
Who
won the San Diego – Indianapolis game?
I
don’t know because my TIVO is an idiot!
What
happened on Monk Friday night?
I
don’t know because my TIVO is an idiot!
I
did my part…I looked the game up on the schedule,
hit
the handy red record button for the program,
NFL
Football , San Diego @ Indianapolis…cool right?
NO…because
the game went past the 3hours and 30 minutes
in
the schedule grid and my TIVO stopped recording with several
minutes
left in the game.
Why?
Because my TIVO is an idiot.
My
TIVO said “Monk” on the Playing Now list but it wasn’t Monk, it
was the show that came on before Monk.
I
know that you’re probably saying there’s only one idiot in my household
and his name isn’t TIVO and that operator error is most
likely to blame.
Oh
contraire, being a fan of Monk I am very Monkish in some ways and
one of those ways is being meticulous in the extra curricular reading of
owner’s manuals and instruction booklets.
NOWHERE
in the TIVO manual does it mention that I have to out think
the TIVO and add the program after the one I want recorded, “just
in case”. I figured that one out on my own.
One
final thought, the makers of TIVO are idiots too. Did you hear that TIVO
was miffed that everyone was using their product name as the generic
term for DVRing a program? As in, “I TIVOed the game but haven’t watched
it yet”?
They
sent word out that talk shows and the like were not to use TIVOed any
more.
Are
you kidding me? Have they not seen the success of the brand names that
have become the generic term for products? Kleenex and Coke to name a
couple.
Oh
well, I’m going to go set my DVR to record the presidential debate and the three
programs after it, just in case.
Because
as you now know…my DVR is an idiot!
