Honestly, do you want the TiVo Beacon service running in the first place?

Uhm, the thing is I have no idea what TiVo Beacon is :slight_smile: but from your question I realize I wouldn’t want the service running :stuck_out_tongue:

Basically, it’s this

but to attract a TiVo.

Remember: Watch without rhythm, and it won’t attract the TiVo.

It’s 1348, Already?

Time for the Plague of Florence.

In the year then of our Lord 1348, there happened at Florence, the finest city in all Italy, a most terrible plague; which, whether owing to the influence of the planets, or that it was sent from God as a just punishment for our sins, had broken out some years before in the Levant; and after passing from place to place, and making incredible havoc all the way, had now reached the west; where, spite of all the means that art and human foresight could Suggest, as keeping the city clear from filth, and excluding all suspected persons; notwithstanding frequent consultations what else ins to be done; nor omitting prayers to God in frequent processions: in the spring of the foregoing year, it began to shew itself in a sad and wonderful manner; and, different from what it had been in the east, where bleeding from the nose i8 the fatal prognostic, here there appeared certain tumours in the groin, or under the armpits, some as big as a small apple, others as an egg; and afterwards purple spots in most parts of the body: in some cases large and bat few in number, in others less and more numerous, both sorts the usual messengers of death
