TiVo Clipping Shows

An article in yesterday's NY Times reports, "...Because of a software glitch in some machines, TiVo customers have been discovering over the last few months that some of the shows they had set to record were cut off before the programs ended...."

There are apparently benefits to living in power outage-prone New England. The article goes on to note that TiVo has issued an update and is in the process of getting it out to all Series 2 boxes, or, you can simply pull the plug on your TiVo and reboot. Since we do the equivalent of "pulling the plug" every couple of months, the problem has never affected us. Which is a Good Thing. I would not be a pleasant person to live with if I lost the beginning or end of 24.
