it's the DVR. we've burned through 4 or 5 of them and a couple of them have had that problem. even though they seem to acquire their time from the cable co, i think they also have a BIOS time that isn't set right

Had Verizon FIOS installed today. Took all day since the first installer fell off his ladder and had to go get stiches. Dufus!

I ordered 10/2 Mps and now have 9835 kps up and 1795 kps down vs 753/134 with DSL. w00t!

You might want to check into getting a new TiVoHD which you can use with the FIOS CableCards. I helped a customer set one up with his 1080p Panny plasma and it all works flawlessly, and the picture quality is better than his old DirecTV Tivo setup.

Oh yeah....

Who is this Randy Walters guy???

I tried OpenDNS as suggested by Greg ... but my lack of network/computer skills caused me to completely lose my internet connection. I ended up having to pay $30 dLink Premium service to have them hand hold me through reestablishing a connection ... first hard wire and then wireless. Seems faster now ... sort of ...

You can call me if you need help with this kind of stuff. I'm used to walking my parents through it on the phone all the time.
