Does TIVO pick up cable change?
My cable company moved one of the networks from Channel 3 to Channel 33 on
3/1/05. TIVO has not yet picked up this change so the only way I can record programs is by a manual program for certain times on Channel 33. Will TIVO pick this up eventually or is there something I can do now to force the change? Thanks for any help. James |

Plus it's a much more advanced DVR. Sean |
What's so much more advanced about it?

Another top posting twit check in. Let me count the ways the CABLE dvr is far superior to the CABLE Tivo: HDTV 2 tuners dolby 5.1 no phone line required Disk useage indicator Free hardware + hardware upgrades More advanced Guide interface Integrated On-Demand Did I Mention HD, Dolby 5.1 + 2 tuners? That's it off the top of my head. Tivo is like a worn out VCR compared to the Cable DVR's. Sean |
What's with all this anal compulsiveness about top posting? Is it too hard
for you? Another top posting twit check in. |

Contact them. Rick |
Answer: Because it makes conversations flow in a nonsensical order.
Question: Why is top posting wrong? -- "It is more uplifting to find the beauty, wonder, spirituality, and reverence in what we can see, than to imagine they only exist in what we can't see." - http://www.sover.net/~hawthorn/ |

It can be very frustrating to have to scroll down 70 lines of text, looking for the 1 new line in the entire post. Sometimes one line at the top is the easiest way to go. Flexibility is the key. |

Are you a Harvard business school grad? That's some mighty fine analysis. My analysis is that for Tivo you only make a downpayment on the hardware. The monthly fee goes to the service and paying off the hardware. After a few years of paying the rental fee, you'dve paid about as much as a TiVo costs. But you don't get to keep the box... And it's such a great box. My series 1 is in my closet. Boating season is almost here. I can always use another storm anchor. A standalone TiVo works even if you switch cable providers, if you go to satellite, or if you move. Try doing that with your rented Cable Co DVR. God what a dolt. Tivo hardware will be obsolete in a few years. Just check with your Directv suckers. All it will be good for is a boat anchor. The cable dvr is no different than the cable box itself. When a better model comes along the cable company gives it to me for free. Which is the better deal? Sean |

Usually happens automatically, but calling customer support or reporting a lineup issue online can ensure they are aware of the issue - sometimes the local providers make changes but fail to notify the people who maintain the guide data when they do.

When a better model comes along the cable company gives it to me for free. Mostly, cable companies just say nothing about new models being available, and customers don't get one until the one they have breaks. This does make it appear that cable companies are quite good at notifying customers about new DVRs, though, because they tend to die often enough that customers get new models quite often. -- Jeff Rife | | http://www.nabs.net/Cartoons/OverTheHedge/Olympics.gif |
Back to the original subject of this post--TIVO fixed the channel problem a
couple of days after I notified them of the Cox Cable change. James "James" wrote in message news:[email protected] My cable company moved one of the networks from Channel 3 to Channel 33 on 3/1/05.

Next time I go on vacation I'll be sure to buy a car instead of renting one for a week. Right... Man, Sean, your logical arguments are so stunning. _Of course_ Kenny meant to say "in every situation, including short-term usage". He simply left it off to be concise. The fact that the thread (and the newsgroup) are about DVRs shouldn't be enough indication that he might have had a more specific statement in mind. BTW, the next time you go on vacation, _IF_ you happen to be in the market for a car, it _WOULD_ be a better deal to buy instead of renting (assuming shipping it back wouldn't be prohibitively expensive). Kind of like, _IF_ you want a DVR, it's a better deal to buy instead of renting... You guys are such friggin Dolts. It just amazes me. Let's see, should I buy a DVR that will be obsolete in a few years (or in some cases a few months) in ADDITION to paying a monthly fee of $12.95. OR Should I "rent" a DVR for $10 a month which will get replaced with a new model when it also becomes obsolete. Hmmmm, $3 less per month PLUS free hardware upgrades..????? Geee which is the better deal????? Are there any Harvard Business school grads on this NG who can help me out???? Sean |

Next time I go on vacation I'll be sure to buy a car instead of renting one for a week. I think that may be the worst analogy I've seen on usenet in years. BTW zit-ass, the better deal is very much affected by what a person wants their DVR to do. It's a very objective issue. Geeze. The stupidity in this NG amazes me. Me too. I think a one man crusade for a very insignificant purpose is very stupid and a waste of that persons time. Sean K |

All he wants is attention, and you just gave it to him. Congrats. No. If I can save one person from making the horrible mistake of throwing hard earned money down the Tivo rathole then I feel all my time and effort has been worth it. That's just the kind of guy I am. Sean |
