$#&*@% guide data!

I think I'm gonna be all slick and watch game 7 without commercials. So an hour after it starts I cue up the Tivo'ed game and it's the fucking 5'o clock news.

I've missed the first hour of the final game of hockey this year (after not even HAVING a stanley cup game at all last year) and the guide data was wrong and my local TV station wasn't even showing the thing.

I was using both tuners, trying to catch the thing in both high def and standard def, neither channel was showing it.

I've found a channel that is, but it's an hour into the game and it's in standard def only.

Jesus this sucks.

Bummer, eh!

CBC has it in both (reg & HiDef), but that doesn't seem to be helping the Oilers much tonight.. 2:0 yuck!

Yeah, Carolina just looks a lot more crisp and focused tonight. I guess there's a reason that the home team is 11-2 in NHL final game 7 history.

I *guess* I'm pulling for Carolina because they've got two of my favorite ex-Flyers (Recchi and Brind'Amour) but the idea of hockey in Carolina still doesn't sit well with me.

Gawd.. the Oilers' power play is bloody pathetic!

Hmm... Ward is just a wall again. The Oilers need a lucky break here, that two man advantage might have been it. After Brind'amore made that post series crack at Ruff (I'm a long time Sabres fan) there was no way I was rooting for the Canes, even though I usually support the Eastern Conf. team.

On a DVR related note, I almost missed Deadwood last night. I had the thing programmed to record the show, one minute before I check, and it shows up as not marked to record....

I got it just in time. I needed to leave a few mintues later and was really glad I checked.

I wanted the Oilers to win so the Wings didn't look so bad! Oh, and because I grew up loving Waybe, Mark, Paul and Grant during the 80's. Having Coffey play in Detroit was surreal.

We got all of Game 7 here, but they seriously dicked up Game 5. They had a news flash thing going on about forest fires up outside of Flagstaff. Instead of doing the brief flashes to the news, they had it splitscreen with audio on the news part. I'm not sure how long that lasted, but I came back for the third period and it was finally fullscreen with audio.
