my onepass for "olympics 2020" was not picking up broadcasts on the local nbc affiliate titled "olympics 2020 primetime" so you may wish to check your to do list.

as with many things tivo lately, your market may vary...

It's listed like that in DFW market (Channel 5) the programs in non-prime time hours is Olympics 2020. Then Olympics 2020 Primetime starting at , well, Primetime. You may also see "The Olympic Zone", which is a slot to allow local affiliates to have their own programming tailored to local/regional athletes. Depending on how hard core you are about the Olympics, you may want to TiVo that too.

maybe it's just me, when i set the onepass for the 2020 olympics, i thought it would record all of the 2020 olympics...

sure..Understandable. But they have them set as separate show names. Like I recall cases where I would miss "Top Chef" because the season pass I had before failed to get the new season "Top Chef: <some city>"

TiVo knew you shouldn't be watching that crap. The Olympics is a different story.

yes, plus every other special surrounding the event - i'm sorting through enough already, and don't need to add to the list.

Top Chef is good stuff!!!

Below Deck, on the other hand... That's a guilty pleasure.

I actually don't mind the separate shows too much.. I guess largely because I've MOSTLY been recording the stuff on NBC (despite originally saying I would record everything).. I do have a zillion OPs though and go through and nuke most recordings for the next day each day..

But anyway, the one thing that has sort of a good aspect and sort of a bad aspect is the rerun of the primetime.. IIRC, last Olympics, the rerun was _usually_ properly marked as a rerun, but sometimes not, so I ended up recording a lot of the late night ones last time not being sure they were a rerun until I started skimming through them..

This year, the reruns are showing up as new shows BUT the title starts with "Encore:".
