I wonder what
FX Special Edit
means?

I noticed something like this when I switched my home TiVo system from
Dish Network to DirecTV. The network identifier for at least one
other channel (Spike TV, I think) is different, and the new one makes
reference to DTV. I had to re-do a Season Pass or two during the
changeover.

I would guess that DirecTV is carrying these channels' programming in
its original form for only part of the 24-hour transmission day, and
is substituting other shows (paid infomercials, most likely) during
the off hours. This would make it impossible for any program-guide
listing service to have a single listing for FX or Spike or etc. which
would apply to every network carrying the channel - two or more sets
of listings would be required. The simplest way for Tribune and other
companies to deal with this situation would probably be to "pretend"
that FX is, in effect, two different channels, which carry the same
programs most of the time and have the same logos and user-visible
naming structure.

That's just a guess/inference on my part, but it seems to fit what
facts I know.

I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will
boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads!

I re-enabled it and set up a new Season Pass on the new call
letters, but I got no message that the lineup had changed, so no warning to
do anything about this.

Fortunately there's another showing Friday, but what if somebody decides to

I was also concerned so I set up a manual recording of the channel. Of course,
the show ran long and I lost the last minute of the season. Oh well . . .

My Windows Media Center PC, went over 5 mins. I thought that was really
cool since it never does that unless a show goes longer than its suppost to.
May be something u guys should get. TiVo is **** from what everyone says.

Neither my TiVo Series 2 nor my DirecTiVo recorded the finale last night.
After some investigation I found that the channel name had changed from
"FX" to "DTVFX" and channel 248 got deselected as a "channel I get" on the
Series 2. I re-enabled it and set up a new Season Pass on the new call
letters, but I got no message that the lineup had changed, so no warning
to
do anything about this.

Fortunately there's another showing Friday, but what if somebody decides
to
reverse the change Friday and screw up my recording again?

(I'm in the San Francisco market with local channels over the satellite,
and the Series 2 gets its programming over the Internet should those make
any difference.)

I'm sure Microsoft is pleased with your devotion to Windows Media Center.

Maybe the clock is running slow on your Windows Media Center PC.
That can happen when the processor is too busy.

"Everyone" doesn't include those who use TiVo DVRs. The number
of TiVo users is increasing daily.

Not that there's anything *wrong* with that.
