I really didn’t think anyone could lower my opinion of how lazy people are, but you have. Congrats. :tup: I’m honestly so amazed and stupefied by the laziness and willingness to spend money on electricity and picture tube/bulb/lcd(what ever your tv is) wear that I’m just going to leave early from work due to the fact that i won’t be able to process anything property for the next 15 minutes anyway. ---

Possible watching a channel that is Switched Digital and it if senses so long of inactivity it will try to tear down the session. Asking a friend in who may know why that happens. ---

Confirmed SDV session tear down… (3:10:46 PM) **Glenn Brown:** ever hear of on TW a blue transparent screen popping up and asking to continue. If you don’t box goes to blue screen and has to be rebooted? (3:10:54 PM) **\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*:** yea (3:10:55 PM) **Glenn Brown:** Is that SDV session tearing down? (3:10:59 PM) **\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*:** eya (3:11:04 PM) **Glenn Brown:** that what i thought (3:11:06 PM) **\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*:** channel up and back should fix it (3:11:14 PM) **Glenn Brown:** ok It is TW’s right do this, for jackasses like you who do stupid shit like leave your settop box on instead of putting it into powersave mode. It also saves on bandwidth used. ---

so you are too lazy to just walk into the room, grab the remote, and hit the System power button? Which will automatically turn on both the TV and cable box? fuck your life ---

well, sorry dude, I guess we are a little harsh. It’s not unreasonable to ask him to use the ONE button on his remote to turn on the TV though. seems like a simple solution ---
