Saturday night, my life changed. Our U-Verse DVR went out, and I lost
all my taped programs and the ability to tape, pause and fast-forward
any shows, on any TV. The satellite U-Verse TV still worked, barely.
I had to start fooling with the paradigm and remotes provided by Hulu,
Apple+, Netflix, Paramount+, Roku, Samsung, etcetera. I never bothered
to do that before. It sucks, but I learned a little.
Today, an AT&T tech showed up and reminded me that U-Verse is unsupported
technology, but he'd see what he had in his truck. What he had, after
some serious monkeying with my system, worked.
I'm back, Baby!

This is service! Only AT&T could deliver such service. I'm happy for you! =) But let that be a warning, maybe in a few years, your media setup might not survive another experience like this.

[ObFood] My wife has a gout-bout, so I made her a tuna sandwich and
served it with a pickle. I'm a good boy!

Yes! You will be richly rewarded in the bedroom tonight!
