a cable company DVR usually is a refurbished piece that will eventually spoil. You go to hand it in and they will give you another refurbished piece. That is sad, but then cable companies have a monopoly because of the high investment cost.
It continues to work fine recording shows daily... it has also worked fine to record "starting right now" on most other shows... I think it's because the regularly scheduled show was "sports center" which all of a sudden was changed to "nascar"

Or perhaps its due to the fact I have never recorded a nascar race before and it's trying to "help me" - kinda like how Microsoft products "help" you poor PC users so often

The problem last week with the customer not being able to use my bullet proof 5+ year old code... ? Internet Explorer browser settings...
I once had it power off and not record a race. When I turned it back on it recorded the repeat broadcast. I was happy.

oh! and I'm going to ignore that dig at Microsoft

Darn it

I'm hoping Tom's Insight is fixed soon. I have not driven my Fit since August 1
It now has over 40,000 and I missed it turning over

There is a 4-door and a 5-door, no 3-door

Ford just needs to NOT be as dumb as American Honda
They need to give us the 3-door ST seen testing

GEN5 has gear driven cams that emanate a unique whine. Therefore GEN5 > GEN6
The GEN6 is known to have the better handling chassis.
Which is fine because as a rider I'm both not capable, or willing to probe even the handling of the GEN5

Gilly posted a pic of a 3-door on the previous page. I think they should have them and they should do it fast. Ford moves way too slow for my liking
