Why would Tivo ever think I want to watch a movie dubbed in Spanish?
Not a huge deal, as I am getting rid of my system this week, but it has been a constant irritant. Tivo will record some movie, and I'll see it and on occasion I'll start to watch and it is from the Spanish HBO channel. Why in the world would it ever do that?
I know there is a devoted Tivo following, but overall I have been unimpressed with it. It just doesn't seem to smart.
I know you can adjust it so it won't record recommendations, but I have received a perverse pleasure in watching the kinds of stupid things it will decide to record. I can see why Directv quit using them in favor of their own DVR.

Have you gone into settings and edited the channels so that the Spanish HBO channel is marked as "one I don't receive"? Even though you do, it shouldn't record anything on that channel then.

There's a separate HBO channel for Spanish now?? Do that many people not know how to use the SAP function, or did they demand their Spanish dubs in stereo, which you can't do on SAP?
I'm disappointed the Spanish TV networks never had an English translation on the SAP, I thought for sure that would happen.

It looks like you picked a good time to move, DirectTV announced today that their HD DVR unit has been delayed (again) until later this year. From what I've read you can't get local HD and HD DVR until this unit ships.

I'm sorry Dave. I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

And the very first thing I did to set up my DirecTivo was remove all the channels from my line-up like PPV, premium channels I don't receive, Spanish channels, religious channels, etc. Never had to worry about Tivo recording stuff I don't want that way and it makes browsing the channel list much easier.
