Yes, it's TiVo Premiere. RCN cable systems offer them. One of the networks showing NASCAR programming (my guess is what was then still called Speed at the time, n/k/a Fox Sports 1) a few years ago showed a qualifying session for a race (somewhere in season) with Mike Joy and the Fox gang on the call... Joy at multiple points said the delay was on during the commercials so "you won't miss a car" or something of that ilk... and we didn't. I'm not sure they ever did it since. B -- -- TV or Not TV ....
