The format button on the front wouldn&#8217;t light anything up, so it seemed to be solidly hung.

Hopefully it tastes fine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> When checking on the pizza I heard sound coming from the basement. The TiVo is probably working. Hopefully it wasn&#8217;t stuck \/ hung all weekend, not recording things. At least it&#8217;s working for now.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully the pizza will work out too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preparing the service update.
