Suddenlink’s DVR is recording repeats.  I’ve created this post as Suddenlink does provides very little details about this issue and is inconsistent on the root problem and gives no time frame for when the issue is going to be fixed.  They do have a post on one of there sites, but it’s just passing the blame on one of there subcontractors (Rovi) and gives no time table for the fix.

See here for the un-offical cause of the problem:

“The digital video recorder or DVR relies on the i-Guide (digital channel guide) to tell it which TV show episodes are “new” and which are “repeats.” If a particular show is a repeat, but it’s not marked as a repeat in the i-Guide, the DVR assumes the show is new and records it.”

You can try to call tech support but you will get a different reason each time you call.  Either there tech support is not aware of the cause of the problem or Suddenlink is lying about the problem.

This is really frustrating as the fix should be very easy; 1 – make Rovi fix the issue, 2 – fire Rovi and get a new guide.

It’s really quite pathetic, as other cable/satellite companies and Tivo don’t have this issue.  Please leave comments if you are having this issue.

Just got season 1, 2, 3, and 4 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Best, Show, Ever!

I ripped the DVD to videos files to my server so I view them while I’m using the computer (second monitor).

Mexican Coke is made with real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.  I bought this bottle at HEB the other day, and you can taste the difference and it’s better.  Which makes me want to say…..

“I don’t always drink coke, but when I do I prefer coke made with sugar.”
“Stay thirsty my friends.”

While watching Fringe on Fox HD (high def) channel on Suddenlink (College Station) about 3 minuties went blank.  I swear Fox HD can’t do anything right!  They constantly f*** up there HD broadcasts.

[UPDATE]
Well FOX HD still sucks, but they are getting better.  Also, this page accounts for the 3rd most popular site hit for my website so I’m not the only one seeing these issues.  Just google “fox hd sucks” and you get 651,000 results.  I/we should not expect to much from a network that has given use Fox News.
