yendiRegarding your decision to run House a minute long last night but not build it into the programming schedule (thus ruining it for anyone who used a DVR):
Fuck you.
A lot.
Bonus: Not making the episode available on Hulu for eight days.
This is why people use bittorrent. And why I hope whichever executive made this decision is the one who greenlit Lone Star, and is thus a short-timer.
No love,

Date: 2011-02-23 02:55 am (UTC)I don't know if I've ever needed to follow that many shows at once.

Date: 2011-02-23 04:58 am (UTC)Even with U-Verse four-channel DVR you can work around it by recording the next thing, but then you have full shows that you didn't intend to watch cluttering the box. It's enough of a pain when football or Obama delays the start time of shows so you have to guess what extra things to record.

Date: 2011-02-23 10:10 am (UTC)Surely they realise that they're shooting themselves in the foot with this nonsense. All TiVo-busting does is make people turn to BitTorrent, which is going to cost them a lot more advert views than a bit of TiVo skip-ahead.

Date: 2011-02-23 10:14 am (UTC)I'm always more-than-happy to watch shows 'legally', given the opportunity, but if the networks insist on making too difficult (or trying to force me to choose between the over-running show and whatever I want to watch after it), then it's their loss.
If they don't want me to watch their adverts, so be it.

Date: 2011-02-23 05:35 pm (UTC)Now we have a 3-tuner MythTv (and a dual-tuner TiVo for problematic channels like Showtime that won't allow the cable box output to be redirected over firewire to an external storage device).

Date: 2011-02-23 08:22 pm (UTC)I just would like it if they would switch to going all product placement already and let us download the shows without guilt. I don't mind there being product placement or even embedded advertising in my downloads, as long as I can watch the downloaded mp4 or mkvs at my convenience on the device of my choice. It's not the advertising that makes me turn to torrents for shows I've recorded and DVDs I own, it's that I want to watch on my device of choice.
