Incorrect times this week?
Ok, while I realize this forum is virtually dead, I still have my ComcastTivo set up (on my bedroom TV -- I got a real TivoHD for my main TV and will keep this weak version of Tivo until Tivo comes out with a tru2way device) and noticed that all of the recording times this month are off by an hour. It appears to be recording things properly, its just the todo list shows incorrect times. The LED clock on the front panel displays the correct time, however, the on-screen clock which appears when displaying program info for a recording shows the wrong time. Looking at my to-do list, it looks like this off-by-an-hour recording time goes away next weekend (which is when we switch over to DST). Anyone else noticing this?

Miricle, I'm having the same issue. Tried calling Comcast but got put in an endless wait in a Tivo support que. Got to love Comcast. Not! I'm sure it's like you said, DST issue. Guide guys jumped the gun.

Same
Same stupid problem here. In fact I just restarted to attempt to fix. No go.
These "TiVo" boxes from Comcast are so buggy, it's hard to believe TiVo actually had a part in creating them. I had less problems with my Series II TiVo (a Toshiba) in the 5 years we had that than in the last month alone with this box we've had ~8months (it's our third).
Wondering when Comcast is going to get serious about this project. Right now it's a real Keystone Cops ordeal.
If you're reading this forum to judge whether to get one from Comcast or a real Series 3 with cable cards… run, don't walk, to your TiVo retailer. Unless you're like us and you can't afford the upfront costs. The integration with OnDemand is really not worth the quality sacrifice.

Well, one thing is that it at least doesn't seem to affect actual recording times. My recordings are still happening at the correct times. Lets just hope it keeps that way once time actually changes  .

I noticed the same thing, but as it's recording properly I figured Comcrap/Tivo just jumped the gun by a week.
I'm down to two boxes, from 3, and will be down to 1 shortly as Windows 7 Media Center has really grown on me. I can extend it cheaply into any room and storage is cheap as a hard drive prices are in the dirt. It will be interesting to see how long the last 1 stays.

Well that wasn't long. I just passed my 1 year with Comcrap and got my first bill. Fortunately they re-bundled me and I just returned my other Comcrap/Tivo.
Now it's a race to get a pci Digital TV Tuner running on my Windows 7 beta box and the last Tivo will go back to Comcrap.
I have been a big fan of Tivo over the years, but there simply is better stuff available now. Your mileage may vary.
