Yes I did watch the game! Great game, unless you work for Eli Lilly.
Finally got my ReplayTV 4320 back from the shop (Replay repair service). The hard drive had crapped out. So, after a looong time on the phone, I was able to return it and pay a mere $200 to fix it. Note that this is the cost of new machines! But what can I say, it is a mission critical piece of equipment in our home.
The one month of TV hell that we had to live through without it was almost unbearable. Ads! Oh my God! They are horrible! They are Attention Deficit Disorder inducing! Further, they are often entirely inappropriate for my young children - even if shown during an entirely appropriate TV show.
Did start watching a lot more of the new reality tv stuff - Mission Organization, American Chopper, Queer Eye, Monster House, Date Patrol... Never really saw much of these before. But I guess that was because there was ALWAYS SOMETHING GOOD TO WATCH on Replay!
As to the game, I had to drive my daughter to a friends house just around 3 pm. So I was missing the kickoff etc. But I got home, and let my wife continue her nap for a half hour, popped a pot of popcorn (yes the old fashioned way with oil in a pot). Then we turned on the Game!
It was amazing on a couple fronts - first the game was great. Snowing and real grass! Great plays, lots of interceptions and fumbles! All around fun to watch. And, on Replay, it was EVEN BETTER!
We could do our own instant replay. We could pause when the phone rang - or when making dinner. It automatically skipped the ads (A feature that we will turn off during the Superbowl, but here it was just fine). And, by the time the game was over, we had caught up to the realtime showing of the event!
Triumph for the Patriots and Triumph for ReplayTV.
