Yesterday a friend calls that there is an extra ticket available to the jets game, it was a noce day out so why not go. I'm a huge giants fan and set the 921 to tape the game ota in hd on fox and my 501 and 721 to record it over dish as a backup. To my suprise i got home and the 921 was recording the game in HD OTA. Just felt the need to share the timer fired n time and ended on time! My first sucessful ota time recording.

Only question is can I blame the terrible game the giants played on the 921 sw in any way?

I've been doing a fair amount of OTA recording in HD since the release of 188, at least twice a week, with one timer set to 'weekly', and I have had zero problems with the timer firing correctly.

Well, before you get too excited, on Sunday, my weekly OTA timer for "The Simpsons" showed that it fired with no problems...and I happily went off to dinner with my gorgeous super-model girlfriend (ok, the super-model part was just to get your attention - I have to leave "gorgeous" in or she'll have me killed)...

I returned to a 0-second recording.

It also failed to record "Lost" on ABC two weeks in a row, finally working this past Wednesday.

Most of my timers work fine, but the problems are still out there, folks...I'd like to see 100% reliability :rolleyes:
