[ale] [OT] Cable TV Gripes

[Robert L. Harris]

That's a good part of it.  The TiVo learns the shows I watch and makes
suggestions, some good some bad, but it also works when I'm gone.  As a
result I can get shows on in the middle of the night (Futurama/Dilbrt
amonth others) same as durring the day.  In addition if my wife and I go
out on friday night it'll auto-record Stargate for me as well so I don't
might the new season on friday nights.
