waiting for a tivo miracle

We're starting our week off to a VERY sad start; the Tivo is on it's death bed {insert uncontrollable sobs}.

Yesterday afternoon I noticed the tv freezing up and at first thought it was the cable, so I dialed them up screaming "Help! Help!". A sweet tech lady answered and after discussing the weather, dogs, tripping down stairs (don't remember how that made it in there) I admitted my panic in missing Amazing Race & Brothers and Sisters that night. She gasped at the horror, then vowed to ensure that didn't happen.

That's my kind of customer service. I immediately forgot how mad I was at them for charging me for the "Free" month of HBO. Apparently, their version of free is different then mine.

Well to my technology embarrassment it was not the cable and in fact Tivo and today he has taken a turn for the worse (freezing every 2 minutes).

Boy has informed me we must be prepared to say good-bye and switch to DVR.

Then I screamed No...I'm not ready!! All the Grey's, Lost & Office memories. It's been such a faithful friend not to mention the joy of seeing the little Tivo creature!

Boy has promised to try some more CPR tomorrow before we pull the plug.

So much for that Lifetime membership fee.
