%!#@ Thanks Time Warner - DVR is not recording ANYTHING!
This should be the place you’re reading about American Idol and who will get voted off… but, thanks to a “converter maintenance/upgrade” NOTHING recorded and still isn’t recording even after the “refresh.”
“So, about a week ago I blogged that changes were on the way to customers with the Time Warner’s DVR service - after finally reaching (30 minutes - no weather related delays) I was assured that If I “re-freshed” my list everything would be okay…. but, despite following these instructions NOTHING recorded today!!!! Arrrgh… I know, the service works most of the time without issue - it is just so frustrating when it doesn’t!
What’s your update experience been? is your DVR working as advertised? How’d you fix it?

Time warner update -
Called TW at 10:30 p.m.
Still holding 10:45 p.m.
Still holding 10:56 p.m.
Still holding 11:00 p.m.
I’m getting worried that my cordless phone battery might die and I would have to start over… please no!
Still holding 11:09 p.m.
Still Holding 11:16 p.m.
Still holding 11:20 p.m.
Spoke to a person - was told I would need to reprogram my schedule. Transfered back to the “board.”
Still holding 11:24 p.m.
One hour later - still holding
Still holding 11:36 p.m. - using the time to surf for info about taking the bus to work.
Still holding 11:45 p.m. - I have learned that the RTA is a bargain at $1.50 per trip!
Next I’m trying to figure out how to get to the Dayton Mall Hub from downtown.
Still holding 11:54 p.m. - I’m just thankful my cordless has a speakerphone setting I think I’m going to give up at 12
Gave up at 12:01 - learned my cordless has at least 1:30 minutes of talk time.
DVR still not recording!
Okay - I didn’t give up - I’m having the gambler’s dilemma. You know - you bid just one more time and you win. well it is now 12:13 still on hold.
12:17 I’m calling it quits - I guess I’ll win the TW jackpot tomorrow.
12:30 gave up for real
