And Hello Tivo!

Broke out the Tivo today - initially things weren't looking too good, given that it's guide and information hadn't been updated in the past three years, and we don't have a phone line, and we got stuck after trying to do a guided setup to have it control the digital converter box via infrared ("ahhh, so that's what that weird attachment with a purple plug that I found in Warsaw!"). In someway this new fangled stuff is great, but it can also be annoying when things used to JUST work - buy a TV, plug in the antenna and vola! None of this needed guide information for a device to work.

However, with a trip to Staples and a purchase of $30 USB to ethernet adapter and things were all good. It's to have a Tivo recorder totally setup with no cost other than the adapter. The online content we can now access through the Tivo is also pretty sweet.

Of course, dealing with setting this up has only left us enough time to stuff down some garlic bread before we have to get up to Phoenix for Dead Hot Workshop!
