Time Warner Cable Runs Out of HD DVRs

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the selling-like-hotcakes dept.

jalvear writes "According to TV NewsChannel 9 in Syracuse, NY, Time Warner Cable said that they have run out of HD digital video recorder (DVR) boxes. Apparently, there's a shortage of HD DVRs because the company that makes the boxes have been 'overwhelmed by requests for them.' Seems like almost everyone has bought an HDTV during the holidays and wants to watch the Super Bowl in HD format."

    Why! why for the love of HDTV?

    Just go download the commercials on your fav torrent site or youtube. Don't waste your life watching the filler.
