I own multiple tivos, a basic series 2, a DT series series 2 and now a HD Tivo., i also used to have a comcast Motorola DVR. My question is that i have a sports package subscription (NHL Center Ice) and when i had my comcast box, i could record my games and watch whenever i wanted, later the same day or a week from now as long as it was still on the recorder. Now with the Tivo HD i can no longer "miss" the game and watch it the next day or the next week. It seems as though i can only keep the recording a couple of hours past the time the game should of ended. Like last night my game started @ 730pm and the game ended around 10pm but the Tivo was only going to keep the recording until 1130pm. And here is the thing that really erked me was lets say i get home @ 1030pm and want to watch the game and Tivo sees that it is a 3 hour program, It will not let me watch it because I don't have enough time according to it.
Is this a glitch? If I can keep the recording on the Comcast DVR I should definitely be able to keep on the Tivo more than a couple of hours. Or am I getting screwed because the Tivo is such an intelligent device and it has the capability of knowing what the material is and the comcast dvr is a pile of crap with no intelligence so you get away with keeping the recording for a long time.
Missing my hockey games sucks!
Thanks,
