OT: I hate RCN's DVR



Part of the problem is that some "New" episodes are broadcasted several
times diring the week by History Channel, A&E, TruTV and others. This
used to drive me crazy, so I don't generally do a series recording of
some of these shows. For instance if you do a series recording of things
like Pawn Stars, you will probably get 6 or so of the same episode
during the week. Usually, I don't want to record some of these programs
during prime time, so I usually set them to record at 1 or 2AM.
