so today my replaytv decided to stop cooperating with my cable box, and my dvd player started to give disk errors with every dvd i put in it, even though the disks work fine in other players.
of course, the replaytv and cable box relationship was always a bit flakey, and the dvd player was an open-box special that i got for like 60 bucks, but still, they were both working fine yesterday!
this just isn't my day technology-wise.
