A few months ago we got a new DVR player from Time Warner. Our old one was acting up and we had to swap it out.
Aside from the frustration of losing all the shows we had recorded and hadn't gotten around to watching (Cold Case is my Rainy-Day show...) and all the programming of the shows we want recorded this transition was especially shocking...
When I plugged the set in and started surfing around I was surprised to find that Time Warner hadn't wiped the settings on the box. All of the previous owner's scheduled recordings and favorite channels were still saved.
It's safe to say that this guy (I will assume) had different tastes than Ryan and myself. Lots of sports channels, lots and lots of sports channels. And he apparently had some premium channels we don't subscribe to.
We have so many pieces of equipment which represent our personality and interests. DVRs, computers, ipods, even the radio stations in the car. It felt odd to be scraping this guy's personality from the DVR to make it our own... but I got over it. I wiped this guys porn off of our DVR and set up the recorder to make 5 copies of the Backyardigans.
