GotDamnIt.
Wife likes football but hates the commercials so we always record the game and start watching about 30 minutes late. I also tell it to record 1½ hours past scheduled end.
Today we started about 90 minutes late. All is going well until just before 2nd half kickoff. it freezes on some fucking truck commercial as I am fast forwarding. So it try FF to get out of it. Well went ahead 45 minutes on the progress bar and nothing still fucking truck picture. Tried going back into halftime. pick up a picture and sound. gets to truck commercial and it stops. I check the settings to verify it is still going to continue for the extra hour and a half. Go into other room to see if the game is over. It was, but fuck they show the score. (yeah, we won. But it looses the fun when you already know the end)
Reset the Genie. takes for ever to get restarted. Status light looks good, but wireless light is off. But I am getting picture and sound from a channel even though I am getting a message of no wireless connection.
Call DTV, on the phone with them for 30 minutes. They have no fucking clue but think is was a broadcast issue, not a genie issue. I won't bother with my reaction to this, other than that I told him that given the genie's glitches, I suspect the DVR. he assured me their engineers were hard at work improving the software, fixing glitches, improving fonts and colors on the interface. Told him fuck the fonts and colors fix the GD glitches.
Turns out I had lost from halftime to 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. So I watched from there. All is well until Dicker lines up for the game winning field goal. It seems that even though I verified it was set for an extra hour and a half, the genie decided to turn off after 30 minutes extra.
Thanks to those goatfuckers at DTV, I didn't even get to enjoy beating the fucking sooners.
