Not Broadcasting Cordially

September 26, 2003 on 8:43 pm | In Jewish, Television, TiVo

So, NBC tried to screw over TiVo users everywhere last night. I knew it was going to happen, and I planned accordingly, but doing this sucks.

Basically, after supersizing Friends (which is ok if they must, though it seems like a half hour show with extra ads), NBC chose to adjust the times for other shows like ER — so they would run from, say, 9:58 to 11:01.

This has the added advantage of convincing TiVo into thinking that if you have a 9-10pm or 11pm-12am show to record, that there’s a conflict, and one of them will be skipped, depending on your Season Pass Priorities.

NBC can bite me.

And, finally…

If you’re Jewish, Happpy New Year! If you’re Christian, Merry Christmas!

See you Monday.
