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!

[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!
