When Your DVR Lies to You

Tonight I was scheduled to be watching the Angels game (which started at 4) on my DVR while it was taping the A's game in HD from 7 to 10. I would watch the A's game when I was done watching and fast-forwarding through the Angels game. A pretty good plan, I thought. However, my DVR box lied to me. Again.

The A's game was not on in HD on channel 720 after all. It was only on the regular FSN Bay Area channel 40. So had I not checked to make sure it was recording properly (that's another post for another day), I would've had three hours of some show on jockeys (and I don't mean the shorts) and probably a food-eating contest or two.

Luckily, I was able to switch over to FSN and am now happily watching the A's barely holding on to a 1-0 lead in the 6th inning which was actually played two hours ago.

I like my DVR. I really do. I just don't like all the lying!
