And I will now direct my thanks to Comcast as well. Last night I was able to set recordings for a number of targeted events, and it worked well - for example the US BB game (and the Spanish BB game that came on later). Not all of the listings were perfectly accurate - I think one of the blocks had listed team archery, that I don't think ever showed up in the block I recorded. But it has been much easier to record and then later watch what I want. It is important to mostly watch these in temporal order. I watched the US BB game first, then went out to run a little, and do some errands, then came back and watched the women's cycling race. Near the end of that Al Michales announced the result of the US BB game. If I had somehow watched them in reverse order I would have been pissed (even if the blame would have been mine). -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
