NBC tries to outsmart Tivo/MCE

BB: NBC tries to outsmart TiVo?


This bugs me.

  1. NBC tweaks things so that Tivo/MCE does not record Friends.
    Result: People miss Friends. People miss the commercials.

  2. NBC leaves well enough alone.
    Result: People watch Friends. Some people skip the commercials. Some don’t.


A mail list at work warned about this and recommended tweaking your MCE to ensure you got the show.


Update: Of course I posted this without really thinking about it so read the comments and also read the updates on BB and see this other BB post on Tivo borking.
