Goodnight, sweet prince...
Well, Spectrum has finally killed CableCARD support in my area, and I could no longer tune most of the channels on my Premiere XL.
The unit was made in July 2010, and has been continuously recording TV for over 15 years, 24/7. Still on its original fan even! The original 1TB WD10EVVS drive was still working fine when I replaced it with an 8TB drive about 4 years ago. Still have 1000+ hours of video stored on it.
Incredible piece of tech to deliver almost 16 years of service, still useful and functional today, no builtin planned obsolescence. Respect to the engineers who designed this thing. I feel like they don't make them like this anymore... :(
On the plus side, dropping the almost $200 a month Cable TV bill will be nice..
End of an era for sure, the little TiVo that could will be missed..
