6.3 Release Watch Thread

[thebarge]

That wasn't the opening salvo, his condescending statement was:

I think I *may* know why and I *may* have a solution that will make your tivo take the update anyways if you were so inclined.

But you guys insist that I am always wrong (even if you don't even know yourself) so I probably don't have a solution.As I've stated, back when this was going on, all I knew about Jeanesco was that he stated that a callin was not required to upgrade the receiver. That's why I commented the way I did, so your quote of mine is taken a bit out of context.

But way back when he stated that the upgrade didn't require a callin, I took that at face value and responded accordingly.

I guess that's the thing. People jumped on the comment about hoping your receiver would be upgraded with a phone call. In context, it was 100% accurate. I do understand that it might have been more clear if he had qualified it with 'because we know the slices haven't been sent out yet,' but instead of asking for clarification, people assumed he didn't know what he was talking about, and started arguing with him.

You say you understand how it works, but in your post above you quoted that same comment, out of context, and claimed he was contradicting himself. He didn't. I now know you understand it, but do you see how taking the comment out of context and bring it up again could be frustrating?

My other contention is with him being jumped on about the experts comment. He didn't even attack anyone directly. It was said in frustration, but it's not like he singled anyone out. He was then singled out by one or more people who have a very similar holier-than-thou attitude in their own posts that he himself was accused of having.

Are there any technical points of contention now? That's what I'm interested in. Can we move past the personal issues? Nobody's demeanor or attitude is going to be changed by all of this rehashing in a technical thread.

I now know you understand it, but do you see how taking the comment out of context and bring it up again could be frustrating?Yes, I can. My point was just commenting on his general attitude. He made an incorrect statement, by mistake I now know. He just meant that the distribution was done via sat and not phone. But when called on it, he responded in quite a childish fashion by basically saying "I may be able to fix this, but because no one believes me I'm not going to fix anything." I responded (as someone quoted above) to that by saying I would believe other "experts" over him. This was based on his previous comment about call ins, and his response to people calling him on it.

By the way, I should have just looked under his avatar and saw it was AlphaWolf and shut my mouth :) I know good'n'well how much experience he has by seeing his posts in the other forum.

see that fork in the track? I'm gonna take it ;)

It's very sad everyday to force a call and have 'success'. Who ever woulda thunk?

Following this thread is like watching an argument between a college professor and a kindergarten class. The professor is getting frustrated because the kids don't have a clue what he's talking about, even though he is absolutely correct in his statements. The kids all want him to act like Barney and can't understand why he's so frustrated and angry.


This site really needs a POTD emoticon. If it had one, sir, I would award it to you.

For crying out loud...who gives a crap about someone's attitude. Let's try to give each other the benefit of the doubt. Can we move away from these flames and get back to the topic at hand?
