A few months ago, TiVo stopped getting my season passes.I had to cancel all of them, and re-enter them. My only guess is that the coding that TiVo reads on the channel guide was changed.Everything works fine now. But, TiVo keeps some of the old shows I have saved in a separate folder in the Now Playing list, even though they were recorded off the same channel.Technology is great, but it's not perfect.

Make sure the show is in the guide when you delete the old season pass, or you can't set up a new one. It has to be on the same channel as the show you actually want, you can't set up a season pass for the Simpons new episodes (airs on Fox) by setting up a season pass on FX. It sounds like the network is broadcasting the show outside how the guide is laid out, and there isn't a good option that I know of for Tivo to deal with that.
