I woke up early, found the remote codes not working properly on the tivo with the decoder. I changed the channel manually and left it.

It's a yucky rainy day.

I got up, watched tv for a bit. I found this decoder to be really unreliable, it will just stop decoding, for no reason, and it needs to be reset before it will work again. Hmm, not great.

I mucked around for a few hours.

I pulled the new decoder that was bought recently out, plugged it all in, set it up.. no good.

It never gets past "waiting for NIT acquisition" when I try to boot it, regardless of the signal setup.

Hmm, seems not to work. I tested my interface with it anyway, and it worked, so these boxes will work with card sharing. I might have to buy one, and give up on this other box.

The guy whose pc I fixed on Sunday rang me again, I told him how to use the firewall, and fix the virus scanner proxy settings, more things that got left because he rushed me.

I fiddled around with the decoder a bit more, gave up, and put the cruddy old one back in, worked straight away.

Watched a bit more tv. Went about making up more remote codes for the decoder, the ones I've got don't work properly, and the ones I made last night don't work at all.

The new ones didn't work at all either. hmm.

Watched some tv, and bummed around, went to bed.
