I Love my DTV DVR - NOT

[Mike Olbinski]

Not really.

It's been "Coming Soon" for the last 6 Months now, just like all those HD channels Cox is supposedly adding.

Direct TV has had On Demand for awhile now.

My DTV HD DVR recently erased everything in my queue. I think it did it because it became full (a mistake on my part--I was recording both days of the draft...usually I keep it at about 40% free).

That doesn't seem right, but maybe there's a setting that dictated that course of action? Anyway, I lost all the smallvilles I hadn't seen so now I'll have to wait till the DVD comes out to see the second half of the season.

Same thing just happened to us with our Cox DVR. It is maddening.

Same think happened to me.

I was adding time to the end of a basketball game I was recording. I thought I was extending it to 12:00 AM, but evidentally it was 12:00 PM so I ran out of room.

It killed an entire season of Rome, and I still haven't gotten around to getting the DVDs.

Yep; I ran out of room on my cox dvr & all of my scheduled recordings were gone. Fortunately I caught it after just a couple of days, but it still sucked bad.
