Back From Vacation

What she said. We're back, we're exhausted, and given that Readercon is this weekend, it's doubtful we'll catch up.

Plus...our TiVo is giving us trouble, not seeing a dial tone, and so hasn't gotten schedule info for about a week. Did anyone out there happen to record the documentary about Superman that A&E was showing? I think it was called "Look, Up in the Sky!: The Amazing Story of Superman."

I'm like the TiVo question fairy, I just pop up and try to field TiVo issues. :-) I use [livejournal.com profile] tivo_in_lj to spot them.

OK, Mr. TiVo question fairy. :-) I installed the new modem this afternoon, and it seemed to work perfectly. I told it to make its daily call, and it did, and it apparently downloaded program info.

However...it still doesn't seem to know that it's done that. When I push the button to go to live TV, it tells me that it still needs to make a daily call for program info. But when I push the button again for the program guide, it shows all the program information! But the season passes haven't kicked back in yet.

So...any ideas what I need to do now? Just to try something, we've told it to make another daily call.

Mr. TiVo question fairy:

Never mind. The TiVo is now working perfectly.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the lead to the modem kit. Do you take tips? Please let me know.

Ah, it was probably still indexing the data before.

I don't normally take tips - but if you want to throw a referral my way the next time you activate a TiVo, or buy some paid LJ time for [livejournal.com profile] tivolovers I wouldn't refuse. ;-)

Glad that it is working again for you!

Done. You should now have 6 more months on that community.

And thanks again!

Indeed! And thank you!
