The tivo has returned. The world is a little brighter.

But since I like to complain, here's some things that really bug me about this process:

1. They've been at this for the better part of a decade now. Why can't I use my network for guided setup?
2. Why can't I edit wishlists on my computer, where I have, say, a keyboard, instead of the freaking ouija board thing?
3. Or, indeed, where I could save a backup of my wishlists
4. Eight hours? It's going to take it eight hours?
5. This tivo has approximately the same processing power as the computer I was using in 1995. Why are the minimum specs for a homebrew PVR faster than almost anything I own?
6. STUPID FREAKING OUIJA BOARD
7. Augh! Choke! Walked into the phone cord that's strung across my dining room at neck height.
8. Nobody wants that stupid damn "skip to end" button.
9. For that matter, why did I need to have the damned thing replaced in the first place? This should have been a 45 second fix, tops.

There. Now I feel better, and can go back to programming my tivo.
