Last night, our Tivo decided to get stuck in booting mode. DirecTV wasn't able to do anything, none of the things they asked me to try worked. They're sending us a new one in a day or two.

HELP!

Does anyone have last night's Heroes and 24 that they can send to me? Oh please oh please oh please?

Wishing you good luck with the Tivo!

If you get fed up with the Tivo thing, Oscar could probably coach you on how to create a PVR based on open source stuff. We've been running an open source PVR for over a year on one of our old computers (thanks to Ubuntu and MythTV) and it gives us with all of the Tivo benefits without any of the limitations (no monthly fee, lots of storage, and no premium content blocking).

I don't watch Heroes or 24, but I probably have a few dozen episodes of CSI and Crossing Jordan stashed away.

Thanks. :) DirecTV lurves me, so I think we'll stay with them in the near term. If everything goes to shit though, I think the next step is Comcast cable, since they already do our internets.
