I know what you mean about Dora, two of my nieces love her. My other two nieces aren't allowed to watch or play with the toys (their parents think Dora borders on indoctrination). Then Barbie is the other way around (the first parents don't allow it, the second do). I'm just glad none of them can stand Bratz. To paraphrase classic Garfield, whoever came up with that toy line should be drug out to the street and shot (sigh, I remember when Garfield was consistently funny). Heh, Merry Go-Rounds are cool.

I haven't unplugged the box and tried plugging it back in or anything crazy, but my universal remote turns the power off on the DVR when I shut down the TV or switch to another box, so it's still sticking. Whoo-hoo! I wish they'd add the 15 minute chapter stops like the TiVo does, too. Those would be handy. And the 30 second skip, of course. ;-) Yup, it remembers it.

It definitely remembers if I change the channel. Nice to see that they updated that. Now they need to improve searching for a show over an entire week instead of just by day. Augie,
