FAIR WARNING: EXTREME RAEG AHEAD

So I've spent the last, like, two months dying of excitement over this Epic Chef Battle thing on Food Network with Emeril Lagasse and Bobby Flay and Mario Batali and the White House Executive Chef all cooking for Michelle Obama.

It was on tonight, while I was at Repo rehearsal - for a show that I can't even do, by

Yeah we had that problem with Time Warner. Then we dropped them and got AT&T U-Verse that lets you record four things at once a.k.a. record three things and watch something different at the same time. Kind of fixed the problem.

But seriously, look up the show on Food Network's website. Odds are they'll re-air it at some ungodly hour of the morning when nobody will be up to cancel your recording.

Well, we have AT&T, but what the commercials don't tell you is that you only have four receivers if you're not recording in HD - which we are. In HD, you get two. Why this is, I'm not sure, but that's what my dad the engineer says, so I'm inclined to believe him.

Yeah, I found another showing on Tuesday night - I'm just annoyed that I have to find another one in the first place. I have never once canceled someone else's recording without asking them first to make sure it was okay; is it really so much to expect the same courtesy in return?

...then record something in analog. We do that all the time if we're recording/watching more than two HD programs. Just about all the major channels on U-verse have an analog version, just without the 1000 added to the channel number.

For whatever reason, when we do that on ours, we just end up with... nothing. Like, you can watch the non-HD channels, but you can't record them. I have no idea why.

[kriscynical]

Yeah you need to call them about that because there's definitely something wrong there. We've never had a problem recording analog.
