I'm starting to watch a new series... It's called no TV in my house!
Took the box back yesterday and we'll see how long I last.
Turns out that unbeknownst to me, our HOA negotiated a deal for free DVRs - It was an attempt to persuade some folks from putting up those ugly dishes. I did pick up a new box (my harddrive was going), hooked it up and then found out that it needed to be initialized - I figured perfect - If I don't initialize it, I won't watch the TV. Hoping this will last a couple of months.
