When the DVR fails.

You know when all your favorite shows come back on and your DVR is so full and happy? Yeah, well ours was at 78% a couple days ago when our DVR all the sudden had a complete meltdown. This thing started counting backwards on the screen in numbers and letters, and I was sure some type of technology apocalypse was happening. So of course we turned everything off and unplugged it, and it just wouldn't work.

If you follow me on Twitter, then you would know that Brighthouse and I do not have a good relationship. Long story short, a very rude customer service guy made me cry and now I detest calling them. So Joe got the pleasure of calling them. Of course they couldn't come out until the next day. And when they finally made it out to our house, our DVR was pronounced dead. Say goodbye to a 78% filled box of all of our shows we hadn't watched yet. Two episodes of Grey's Anatomy, one SOA, three How To Get Away With Murder episodes, two Real Housewives reunion specials. All gone.


You said it right Derrick..

I'm pretty sad about it. Thanks a lot technology for failing me. So since I didn't have my recorded shows, I bounced on over to Netflix, because who is gonna sit and watch a show with commercials? Not me. I opted to watch a few of my most favorite Gilmore Girls episodes, you know the ones with Jess in them of course. Not having to take out all of my seasons to watch on the DVD player is awesome, and makes me so much more lazy. By the way, how could anyone like Dean??? It doesn't matter how many times I watch this show, I still can't stand the guy. I'm team Jess all the way. Thanks Netflix for keeping me entertained when cable fails.


Anyway, now I get to have a scavenger hunt to watch all of my shows that are now gone. We haven't had a 0% DVR since we first got cable. Maybe this is a hint to quit watching so much freakin television. But, maybe not.


Are you team Dean, Jess, or Logan?? I will only judge a little bit if you say Dean.

  1. Team Jess! My DVR keeps messing up as well and cutting off the last several minutes of shows, which as we all know are almost always the best parts!

    1. Yay! This is why we're friends. And yes, now we have this old spaceship looking DVR box, but it actually doesn't cut things off!
