Even TiVo missed me

susandennisI have two TiVos - one does mainly news and podcasts and overruns and the other one (with much more storage) does everything else. I turned on The Big Bang Theory on TiVo #2 and it did not have sound. ? I checked live TV and it didn't have any input feed... And none of the other recorded shows had sound. hmmmm. I rebooted. And then meanwhile flipped over to TiVo #1 which also - for a variety of reasons - had recorded The Big Band Theory and watched it.
Then I went back to TiVo #2 to suss how how bad the problem was. Sound was back on live TV. Sound was actually there now for all the recorded shows, except Big Bang Theory... weirdo. But fine.
I had my contact in when I got to Las Vegas but all the flashing lights and bright lights just made it hard to see so I took it out and never put it back in and saw things fine. Even menus. No glasses, no contacts. Wonderful!! Now that I'm home, I can tell such a difference. The computer is a little harder to read than it would be with the contact in, but it's readable. The TV is VERY much easier and clearer to see. This could bode badly for purchasing a new one! hmmmm
My brother says that he, too, has days when his eyes work better than others. I'm going to ride this no contact/no glases thing out as long as I can.
