About 2 weeks ago, it became possessed and decided of it's own free will not to record 4 shows one night. (Now, all evening long, the box was locked because it was "recording" 2 shows at the same time. We turned that one in (God help me, all the shows that I lost, boo hoo) and got a second one. Today, while watching Bones on the DVR this afternoon, it cut off and informed me that my box was not authorized. I called Comcast and after a second phone call, discovered that when my husband returned the first box and got the second, they never logged the second one out and had reported it as a missing box. Needless to say, once again, I had to get another new DVR, and once again, lost all of my shows. God help me, if anything else goes wrong, I may lose my ever-loving mind. I can't take it this time of year, when all of the shows are on, and I keep missing them. I will trade you your cable box for mine.

So, I still hate Chater because their on-demand doesn't really have anything in it that I would demand to see. So, BOO!!! to Charter. And the sad thing is, we can't switch companies because we're on base. And Charter is what you get if you're on base. So, Double Boo!!! But, Marilyn, I am sorry that your TV viewing hasn't been prime.
