Yeah, that logo is very annoying which is a shame because this is probably one of the few times that the EE versions, at OAR, and without commercial interruptions is ever going to be shown.

I seem unable to edit my post above so I guess I'll just do a new post. As of 1 AM (EST) Sunday, it looks like they're showing the EE version of Fellowship (I just watched the scene with the Wood Elves heading to Grey Havens which I think only happens in the EE version) and the extra good news...

I just saw a commercial on Encore where they confirmed that Sunday's showing will be the EE versions. Hopefully OAR as well but they didn't say anything about that. Update: I'm watching Return of the King right now (2 AM, EST) and it is using the original aspect ratio. I know the first two...

Thanks for the info. I imagine I'm not the only one to run into this problem (for families it could be a real pain), so what do other people do? Add more DVRs? Is there a cheap/easy way to go about this?

I have a ViP622 and the maximum number of timers I can have on it is 96. This is a problem. At this moment I have 96 timers in use and after pruning my timers yet again (it's a weekly occurrence) there might be two shows I can eliminate (haven't been able to confirm if they've been cancelled)...

I didn't see that thread, but it gives me hope. The nearest bad timer is Sunday. As I mentioned above the timers on Friday and Saturday worked themselves out early this morning. I had noticed this behavior before with some Adult Swim programming (non-new episodes being scheduled to record but...

I did delete one bad timer and added back in and it seems fine. The problem is that I have over 90 timers and was hoping to avoid the rather tedious task of deleting/re-adding so many timers. I had suspected that this was going to be my only option but I was hoping someone had a magic fix.

I've done that several times and the timers remain, for the most part, mangled.

It's got the correct zip code in both spots. Here's something interesting, I just checked the timers again and the ones for Friday and Saturday seemed to have sorted themselves out. The rest of the week is still all crazy. Maybe the computer is working through it all?

Hey everyone. Wednesday night my 622 lost power a couple of times during a severe thunderstorm. On Thursday I noticed that the guide data was missing. I made the machine download the data again and on the second attempt it worked. However, there is a problem. All my timers are still there...

Pepper, yes the PIP/swap trick does work (though you don't need to hit PIP first, just swap) but it's not quite as useful as how the TiVo buffers. When I had a TiVo I didn't have to think about preserving the buffer as it was always there. It's one of those things that once you get used to...
