We’re not supposed to be faster than the Machines

I can’t tell you enough how much I loathe Time Warner’s latest DVR system, Mystro. Since the changeover a few months back, I’ve had nothing but problems, and I’m not alone. Seriously - this thing sucks. My least favorite thing about it? When I change channels and press rewind too fast, the darned thing freezes for a good two minutes or so, then reboots itself, which takes another five minutes, during which I get to stare at the above image on my television screen. Not only that, it’s downright lousy at recording shows that are programmed to record regularly. Is your favorite show on at a different time or with a different running time than it normally is? Tough luck - you’ve got Mystro. Hopefully, you can catch it sometime during rerun season.

What a piece of junk.
