by football once again. It looks like it could be as much as an hour behind.

I have the DVR set to record it for an extra hour. What a pain in the ass that it gets pre-empted.

I figured it was going to be delayed once AGAIN :grr:, so I’m getting some chores out of the way in the meantime. At least I can watch it this week – last week I couldn’t because I had the early AM shift at work.

Its at least an hour now. My DVR is programmed to tack on a hour, looks like I need at least 15 more minutes.

Well I’m set to record Three Rivers AND Cold Case so I guess I’m okay. My kid just called me to ask what channel it was on, because she “accidentally hit yes without reading what the screen said”, and of course whatever it was she’d tried to do make the screen pop up that said “Do you want to stop this recording”. At least she realized what she’d done, but her hitting buttons without reading drives me nuts (she did it when I taught her to use an ATM too – of course, she still calls me every time to ask checking or savings, but has stopped asking it for $21 or $33 or some other crazy amount).
