Well, watched some of Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi the past couple of days. Reminds me of some of the hokier series that ran in my day.

Also, had a weird experience with my TiVO . I don't remember if I've mentioned it, but I'm almost addicted to my tivo. I've had it a year now. In that time, I've upgraded it to 322 hours, and the family's easily filled that much space up .

Yesterday, I was watching some old shows when I first noticed that I was not able to delete things I'd just watched. In exploring that I also noticed that a series that I follow daily wasn't being taped.
I tried to directly record it, and that didn't work.

So I popped over into the recording history file to check on the problem. There I find that tivo is recording an "internal error 4" for recordings.
I decide to restart tivo since it was obviously not helping to just sit there.

I popped over to http://www.tivocommunity.com/ and found someone else giving that same advice, so I felt good.

I checked and after the reboot, deletes worked again as did record. Thankfully the show was rerunning later, so I was able to get the missing episode.

But wait - the weirdness continues! I decided to check to see how far back the problem had occurred.
I found that, around 1 pm yesterday, tivo was reporting shows were not recording because the power was off to the tivo.

Hmm - how does it know that - if the power is off?
I look back and see the same thing for the previous 3 or 4 hours.

Weirdly enough, my family that was at home at the time doesn't recall the power being off at all!
