Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Give me an "O"

Every four years, just in time to distract us from the increasingly ugly presidential campaign, we are treated to a tremendous display of pure athleticism. And a ton of lame commercials and smarmy bio-features, thanks to perennial Olympic broadcaster NBC. For this, we have DirecTiVo! I spent most of Saturday crawling around in the crawlspace (that's why it's called a crawlspace, I guess--if I could stand up without being impaled on roofing nails, it'd be an attic) installing the second coax run from the dish to enable the ultra-cool dual-tuner feature on the new box. This lets us watch one channel and somehow record two others. I don't get it, but it works.
Some useful links: Next up is upgrading the recording capacity; 35 hours gets used up very quickly when there are five channels (six if you count Telemundo, seven if you count the HD broadcast) all going more or less simultaneously.
