Shutting off Tivo service feels so good

I know this won't be a popular post, but I have to share that I am so relieved to finally make that call to Tivo and have them shut off my Tivo service after so much misery.



My Roamio experience is summed up in my avatar and plagued with countless missed recordings, Roamio hardware swaps, cable card swaps, tuning adapter swaps, attenuators, tech support calls, and truck rolls.



What am I doing next? Doesn't matter. What I won't be doing is calling Tivo, calling Time Warner, calling Tivo again, replacing hardware, watching techs trying to pair cable cards over the speakerphone ("now was that a 7 or a 4 after the 3?"), describing my hookup-- put the TA in line, no use a splitter above the TA, trying to explain to Time Warner that I need a certain TA firmware release, be told my signal is too good for Tivo, be told my signal is too poor for Tivo, have Roamio then show +18db with no coax connected, or carry $400 on my credit card so Tivo will ship me a new Roamio.



Correction-- what I will be doing now is planning a fitting end to my Roamio Pro. I'm thinking: bonfire, Darth Vader style.
