But...but...Heroes!
Yesterday, we had a disaster. Not the recoverable kind :-(
Sky decided to send out a software upgrade, that has apparently "caused problems with" (i.e. fried) some people's Sky+ boxes. Sadly, ours was one of the affected. Forty-five minutes on the phone to tech support produced a promise that an engineer would be out on Friday to replace the box free of charge.
Sadly, this means that all the things recorded on it have gone bye-bye. So good-bye to three (or four?) episodes of Heroes that we hadn't had time to watch yet. And good-bye to three episodes of Doctor Who that I hadn't had time to transfer onto DVD for the capping of. Woe.
It's the Heroes that I'm most distressed about. Guess I'll have to download them, but it's taught us a valuable lesson about finding time to watch what we record. We're going to be much more dedicated on this front from now on.
In other news, my back is aching a lot (I'm still paying for a shopping trip on Saturday, bleh) and I have meetings. Is it time to go home yet?
I have succumed to the lure of buying Jaffa Cakes. Bad Sel.
