DVR Chatter

The scene: You’re at home watching TV through your Comcast cable set-top box. You press a button on the remote to change channels. Nothing happens. Well, you think, maybe I didn’t press down on the button hard enough. So you do it again. Still nothing. Aggravated, you press a bunch of other buttons on the remote to see if it’s working. For a second…nothing. Then, as if a dam had burst, every command you punched in gets executed, unleashing a torrent of unstoppable channel flipping, fast-forwarding, pausing, and on-screen menu launching.
