DVR Fiasco - Where There's Smoke - Fire ?

A heads up for y'all.  Wife and I sitting here watching TV (Direct) last night.  Suddenly, screen goes blank.  Wife ask what happened?  I looked down and DVR was off, so she hit the button on remote to turn it back on - nothing.  She gets up and opens glass door to cabinet where it sets, and it was smoking.  We got it unplugged and disconnected.  Called Direct TV & they're sending another one.

Here's the problem.  What if we'd been gone, and recording something?  I wonder if it would've caught on fire?  Ironically, we've lived out here about 6 years now, and (thank goodness) there have been very few home fires.  But this year in Evadale, we just had our third one, and my daughter walked over when she got home and we were talking about the rash of fires - then this happened.  Really weird.  Unfortunately, there's not a lot any of us can do about it.  We'll still record programs when we're not here.  Perhaps put the new one on a metal tray, and remove and papers, or any other combustibles around it.  Just another thing to look out for.

      There is undeniable irony and hypocrisy in the fact that Trump has the unwavering support of conservative republicans across the country who've pushed legislation that makes it much more difficult to access her on pornhub.

      All sports lose money... period.. Yes football brings more revenue but still loses money with all its costs...  Football does not "fund" other sports..  It is funded by budget.. which is paid by state and local taxes.  I have seen many games this year where less than 200 parents show up to the games. Do you think these schools got rid all other sports cause their football team did not gain enough revenue at football games??... come on..  I would agree football is bigger in Texas.. no doubt... All I'm saying is other sports should not suffer cause of football Offseason... I know coaches think that 10 extra practices in April/May will determine if they are successful in November.. I just don't think its worth destroying another sport to do it.. especially with all the summer to practice...

      False.  He ran the country into the ditch.  And if you blame them Dems, then you have to admit that Trump was powerless to stop them.  Either way, NO ONE can claim he was a good President.      If you had told me that one day we'd have a First Lady with nudes on the Internet, I wouldn't have believed it.  If you told me that the President (proven rapist) and First Lady (with nudes on the Internet) would be on trial for falsifying documents regarding his hush money payments to a porn star with which he'd had an affair, I'd say .... "Never... but if it ever happens, it'll be a Democrat, for sure."   Except it really did happen and the person was supported by the Conservative, Christian, Right Wing, Republicans... and he's the presumptive nominee for President after getting his tail kicked up around his ears by the same man four years ago AND is still the darling of supposedly God-fearing conservatives.  You literally can't imagine this level of ignorance and hypocrisy.  Dems roll because decent people won't vote for Trump.    EDIT:   ANYMORE
