*&@!#&$! dish network

We took a week off for my wife's family reunion, and expected TiVo to continue making us its obedient servants. Oh, how we adore the TiVo.

The TiVo controls one of our Dish Network receivers via IR. Sometimes (1-2 times a month), the message gets garbled and the channel is switched to the wrong channel. Annoying, but usually not too bad. But, if the channel is accidentally switched to a channel to which we don't subscribe, the Dish Network receiver pops up an error message that you must leave via pressing the up/down channel button. TiVo sees a signal coming through and happily records it.

Guess who had ~20 hours of the same damn error message recorded when they got back from vacation? Craptastic!

TV will just rot your brain, mister!

This is Jesus sending you a message. You better listen up or the next step will be an angellic beating.

Angellic Beating would be a sweet band name.
