Think about how many people aren't going to have the season finales of Mad Men and The Killing recorded this weekend because their timers will no longer work.
These are precisely the reasons for Dish Pass/Seek and Record timers.Which reminds me...
I need to fix the timer for my Grandma for The Golden Girls on We TV before 7 P.M. Central tonight. She was upset when We TV took them off at 11AM for Fraiser and then later at 5:00 PM for shows like Bridezillas.
