We had another session of the Neverwhereish game, although this time it was zombies. Instead of the laptop, I used a bunch of heroquest minis Lazar has lying around as the horde of unstopp-- er, easily stoppable zombies.
( game summary )
I got home to find that, for once, the DVR had actually recorded Battlestar Galactica properly. Maybe the method Joe from work suggested has something to it. He said that he'd cut down on the problems by not recording multiple shows back to back -- the DVR records a few extra minutes before and after each show, and the overlap takes up both tuners even if you're only recording on one channel, leading to unexpected conflicts. So I set it to stagger the recordings on the scifi channel at least, since scifi shows everything a million times.
On the other hand, that wouldn't explain why the failure was starting the middle of the shows in question, so I still think it's just defective, and happened to work this time by pure chance.
