So tonight I let Destination Truth go for about fifteen minutes before I started watching it. (I'm only fairly certain that anyone with a DVR has done this at some point or another.) Then I started watching the show from the recording, while it was still recording.
Okay, right? Sort of.
When I caught up with the live recording, which is common enough an occurrence when fast forwarding through various sections, the DVR couldn't cope with it. It'd start to act funny within a minute or so of real time. Twitchy and strange, I would say.
Once I caught up to real time the DVR froze and became completely unresponsive. Nothing. Nada. Frozen.
The fix here is to hit the "live" button. Okay, but really? This is just another case of how poorly designed the Comcast DVR is. The thing should smoothly transition into playing from the live portion, or at the very least stop just short of live and play from that point. But going all the way up and freezing? Lame.
