TiVo Halloween Weirdness

Wizbang blog

This evening I noticed that on Friday October 29th at 10:00 PM our TiVo manually recorded "Fahrenheit 9/11: A Moment in Time" on IFC. No one in the house picked that movie as a manual selection nor did we watch it. To be clear - this was not a TiVo Suggestion recording, it was a scheduled manual recording - the kind that show at the top of the Now Playing List, and are prefaced by the word Manual.

That only leaves two possible explanations:

1) One of our toddlers managed to get the remote, navigate the menus and record the show by channel or time - the only way a show records as Manual (a difficult task for experienced users).

2) The TiVo folks managed to turn their boxes into zombies for IFC, Michael Moore, and the DNC.

I don't know which of those two choices is scarier.

That's my true life Halloween story...

That would be sufficient to draw a lot of votes from the melanin-rich.



The Republican party killed itself with blacks in the 60s when it's "free to choose" advocacy meshed perfectly with the segregationists. They will never have a majority of the black vote, but they are cutting into it.
