*gnashing teeth*

Television
RCN changed their channel lineup on Tuesday. Apparently, no one told TiVo this, because everything we recorded from Tuesday on is wrong, with the exception of network TV, because the network TV channels didn't change. So I've missed three days' worth of Daily Shows and Colbert Reports, as well as a Rescue Me minisode and a few other things I'm less upset about.

*froth*

I called RCN. They said I had to call TiVo. I called TiVo. They said that they could fill out a form for me, and that it could take up to a week, and that they couldn't tell if someone else had already filled it out earlier, thus potentially shortening that week's wait.

*froth*

I have set TiVo to manually record by time and channel until Monday. If the lineup is still frelled on Monday, then I'll manually record another couple of days.

*froth*

In less frothy news, I have reservations to see Batman at the Premium Cinema on Sunday evening.

ETA: [info]dsrtao saves the day! Thank you!

comedy central now streams complete episodes of TDS and TCR, fyi. usually a 24-hr delay, and the last time I checked, they had about a month's worth of eps available.

You can change it yourself. Eliz has already done our series 1 and HD Tivos. What model do you have?

series 1: messages & set-up; my preferences; customize channels; cable lineups;
then choose "digital rebuild extended basic"

TivoHD: messages & settings; settings; channels; channel list; press Enter (wrong channel lineup) follow instructions.

Afterwards, you need to get a new data refresh to load the new channels.

www.tivo.com has further assistance, if you need it, or you can call us.

We have series 2, but the steps were similar enough to series 1 that I was able to make your instructions work. Why the hell couldn't the folks on the phone at TiVo tell us that?!?

And thanks!!!

Glad you found what you missed! There's nothing worse than missing your favorite shows. All I have to say is, I worship The Daily Show and Colbert Report because their websites are fabulous and one usually only has to wait 2 days or so before the episodes are online--for free! And legal! LOL

How did you like Batman?

Batman was pretty damned good. The part that amused me most was that Nestor Carbonell was in it -- yes, Batmanuel was in Batman :)
