Yay! GeekBrief.TV Is Back On TiVoCast!

Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 by MegaZone

As I mentioned last month GeekBrief.TV had stopped updating on TiVoCast sometime in early July. It had been one of my favorite TiVoCasts since it was added last November, so I missed it.

Well, I got a pleasant surprise today when GeekBrief.TV showed up in my Now Playing List. Nice to see that whatever the problem was it has finally been resolved.

On the not-so-nice side, I signed up for the new 3 Minute Ad Age TiVoCast and got deluged. Ten episodes downloaded (I set mine to Keep At Most 10), I watched and deleted them – and ten more came in. I watched and deleted those. And ten more came in. All told I think thirty episodes came in. It looks like they went live with a backlog and they were all marked as new. So beware.

And on a different note, after my laptop post last week I finally pulled the trigger and bought a new one. Why? I found a coupon for $500 off good through 9/22. That was about 1/3 off, too good to pass up.

    I was excited like you to see it back again, but I didn’t really get too excited, and I’m glad I didn’t. Seems like it is how it was before, we get an episode here or there and then maybe a bunch later. A few days after the one episode downloaded, I’ve not received anymore and there are 3 new ones on the GeekBrief website. Hopefully they’ll work out whatever prevents them from getting them to us shortly after they are available on the website.
