Electronics break, it's part of life. When I got my new HD Cable box, it was defective so I exchanged and now have no problems.
ing DVR is crapping out on me. 1hour recorded shows are pausing on playback and some only show 4 minutes worth of recorded time when it should be an hour. Then the other night, I heard a loud clang from the hard drive in the box. It's pretty safe to say I'm ed. What pisses me off is all of the shows I've kept that I'm going to lose. There's no way to get the shows of or replace the hard drive. So TW is supposed to come out on Tuesday but because they use some ed up moronic contractors, they can't bring me a ing cable box. I have to go on my own time, stand in a ed up line, to one of their offices to take back one of THEIR broken boxes when they're supposed to come to MY house anyways. Mother ers!!!!

That at ude is entirely too rational for a rant thread.
DirecTV.
you'd still have to wait if your broke.
Att U-verse
U-verse is bad ass.
I'm glad u brought this up. My dvr is ed up too. It never records correctly and it just never works correctly. So I finally called them today and told them the problem. They said they just realized this problem today at 11am today (a load of crap cause this has been happening for months). They said they would try to download an upgrade after I told them I was not coming to there store to pick up a new one.
When we had Time Warner we went through 3 or HDDVRs for the same kind of stuff. Our regular DVR in the other room had no problems though. I don't understand why they won't bring you a new box. Are they afraid the contractors are stealing them or something? They always brought new ones out to us. That sucks!
they will, he just doesn't want to wait. i've had 2 dvr's in the last 5 years. the first i had for 4 years.
I've gone through like 4 cable modems from time warner.
No, they won't. I don't mind waiting at all, they're coming out on Tuesday because of a "weak signal" that's been going on since I got cable here 2 years ago. That's a completely different mess that I just might be pissed off enough to go into later. Anyways, the cust service guy told me they have a new model (8300HDC)...and that the service tech might be able to bring one, but that it wouldn't be the new model. He said that if I wanted the new model, I had to go to one of their offices and pick one up.
ahh, ok. the contractors bring them here in austin, but i always picked one up instead. the windows they give are too much.
Sounds like this should be a Scientific Atlanta rant. TWC doesn't make the boxes.
Oh, and for you U-verse fans? ATT is going to actively co-operate in detecting file sharing, and shutting you down. What a ing shock, eh?
ATT butt pirates
incredibly lame.
...but not a surprise for a corporation that co-operated in flouting the 4th amendment of the Cons ution.
Oh I don't like that the box went out but happens. It's the bull that they do in not "turning on" certain ports on these boxes and not supporting features that the boxes have and the fact that they haven't come up with a way for us to transfer recorded shows. It's also the fact that they will not bring me a new box. So...this indeed is a Time Warner rant. At any rate, even if the boxes were pieces of and SA made sub-par boxes...they're the ones that force us to use them.
it is their box they are renting you, they can do what they want with it. if i really wanted to transfer shows, i would get a TIVO. plus, you can download HDTV rips all over the place anyway. at least they have left my newsgroup access alone
Yeah, TiVo is the only box that will let you transfer shows, which is why I have it. I bought it a while back when you could purchase a lifetime subscription for like $300. I think it's about paid for itself already. Unfortunately, they don't sell the lifetime scrip anymore. I'm mildly interested in their lower tier HD box. It only costs $300, unlike their original offering which was $1000.
TWC won't let you transfer your shows, but then again, neither will Dish, Direct, Comcast, Charter, or anyone else.
I hate my roadrunner internet modem it goes out for a week and when it does come back on it will only stay on for about 5 minutes
sounds like a problem with your line, not your modem.I hate my roadrunner internet modem it goes out for a week and when it does come back on it will only stay on for about 5 minutes
It could be worse... you could have been sexually assaulted by your TWC installer.
With all of the complaints about Time Warner I'm surprised no one has complained about No NFL Network! What's up with that???
his tv would be all ed up too then. it could most definitely be his modem...why he doesn't get a new one....that's the question.
