Despite being a TiVo fan, I have to praise one of the good things about the DirecTV-branded DVRs: they automatically do "soft padding" when possible, of about 30 seconds at the beginning of each recording and 90 seconds at the end; better yet, recordings of consecutive shows on the same channel are overlapped, so those 90 seconds end up appearing as part of both recordings. -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> -- TV or Not TV ....
