However, if I see a commercial for a new show that is showing its first episode a week from today, I can't set it because it isn't on the guide yet.Dani In NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032707452740200776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254507.post-47059304240242291662008-03-22T16:25:00.000-04:002008-03-22T16:25:00.000-04:00I have the same sevice, but was taken over by COMC...I have the same sevice, but was taken over by COMCAST. Doesn't your recorder allow you to tape "all future episodes" or some such title ? I am able to record all future episodes of any program.<BR/><BR/>This is a comment to "--The guide only goes six days ahead, compared to two weeks with TiVo. I finished watching a show on Friday night and wanted to set the DVR to record the next episode (which was airing the next Friday night according to the previews), but the guide only had listings up to Thursday!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254507.post-44078657514277903852008-03-19T14:12:00.000-04:002008-03-19T14:12:00.000-04:00Sharon, you make a good point.

Of course, the fact that the on-screen guide looks like it was designed for an elementary-school kid probably doesn't hurt :-).Dani In NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032707452740200776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254507.post-49613155670197448182008-03-19T00:27:00.000-04:002008-03-19T00:27:00.000-04:00Hellbob & I were also VERY happy DirecTV & DirecTi...Hellbob & I were also VERY happy DirecTV & DirecTivo customers for several years. We did the switchover probably about the same time you did. Our reason was almost entirely financial: Doing the 3-way bundle plus switchover incentives is going to save us a fair amount of money every month. Since our TiVo box was the DirecTivo it wouldn't work with the cable. (We have Comcast here for our cable) We decided we would try the Comcast DVR. Yeah, that lasted all of about a week before we went to Best Buy and dropped an HD Tivo on the credit card. <BR/>I think for someone who has never had DVR capabilities before that the cable company's DVR seems like a wonderful thing, but once you've had Tivo you can't deal with it. It would be like going from high-speed internet back to dial-up. It works perfectly fine until you try the better one! <BR/>I was soooooo happy to see the little Tivo dude bouncing on the screen!<BR/><BR/>~Sharon, aka HellZiggyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3254507.post-29211530414988687692008-03-02T16:14:00.000-05:002008-03-02T16:14:00.000-05:00Thanks for the info.
