Living without TiVo recordings

I turned on my TiVo this evening to catch up on all the shows I had recorded over the past couple of days. Much to my surprise, anything I recorded today has audio, but no picture.

I called TiVo customer service and found out that there is a software update needed to repair the problem. Unfortunately, they said it could take up to two weeks to get the update. Two weeks?! What the hell am I supposed to do without TiVo for two weeks? See, I never watch shows when they are aired, so I am basically out of luck until the update occurs.

I was able to go to a website they have set up for junkies like myself to try and get priority for the update. I don't know if it will actually help or if they're just trying to keep us all calm.

Anyway, if you have a 1st generation DirecTiVo that needs the update, go to http://research.tivo.com/310c2priority
