Missed last 5 Capricas because they showed REPEATS!!!

No problem moving them back and forth here (HD and an original S3)....

 

It's likely because dublatte's cable provider is putting CCI byte values (http://www.tivo.com/copyprotection/) on SyFy Channel that prevents them from being transferred while yours doesn't.

All channels that I received on Verizon FiOS, including SyFy Channel were wide open (content could be freely moved to PCs or other TiVos) until ~June 2010.

Unfortunately, the message in TiVo's UI can be misleading or wrong (in some cases) due to its wording:

It may NOT be the "copyright holder" but rather stupid cable providers who blanket put on the above values.

 

As much as TiVo should be set it and forget it, it does take some management.

For instance, Letterman always seems to be reported as repeats in my guide data.

So in general, I set all my SPs as FR&R. And then once a week or so, I go through the TDL and cancel anything I know for sure is a repeat.
