Good heads up on the Weekend news recording... Tivo did have a message this morning about the Katie Couric name change... but NOT the NBC change. Hmmmm... Could this be because CBS also ponied up to have a special section devoted to recording the premieres of some of their new shows? Synergy or Bad Member Service for us... The CBS thing didn't make sense... 3 of the 4 shows didn't have showings yet... How can you set these up to record when you don't know when they will be on and what they will preempt? Who will be the first network to smarten' up and rebroadcast the primetime line-up from 2am to 5am. It will just take away having to choose between shows... like that 9pm block on Thursday... C'mon ABC and NBC, you need to do this. We'll still record the same local affiliate ads (we'll skip them, but we would have done that anyway). Are you REALLY going to spend all that money on "the Nine" and "Kidnapped" to play chicken for a timeslot? ABC is already on board somewhat with this idea... I found a "new episode" of "Grey's Anatomy" recorded from last Sunday afternoon. Of course it wasn't a real episode, but rather a preview of the new season. Because they titled it the same, called it new and stuck it in the middle of day, my Tivo recorded it. Sneaky. But smart....

Dan,

It changed to NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams and my TIVO didn't record it. Since resetting it, I notice I now have to set another season pass for the weekend version of Nightly as well. Jeez.
