My TiVo can record the future!
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Fofer

...so I'm checking out the "TiVo Suggestions" for things to record, right? And I see a special coming up for 9/23.

It's called "50 Years of NBC Late Night," and it's described as "Funny moments in late-night television spotlight John Lennon, Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, Muhammad Ali, Howard Cosell, Paul McCartney, Mel Brooks."

Sounds good, right? Well here's the best part. The description is preceded by a date stamp of "2015." Extended info reveals the Original Air Date is 1/1/2015.

Now THAT'S a cool TiVo!

Hi.

Can someone point me to the post on how to see extended info (with the dates and stuff)? I have backdoors enabled, but not sure how to get to this screen.

Thanks.

I remember 2015, I was much younger then, and we used to sit around watching these things called televisions. Hard to beleive how simple life was back then. http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

But wait a minute...shouldn't the 2015 special be "64 Years of NBC Late Night"? ("That's right, kids, President O'Brien used to just be a talk show host.")

Dang! When my TiVo recorded that NOVA episode about wormholes and Time Travel last week, it must have slipped between the electrons!

Will I have to take it to a quantum mechanic for repairs? http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/wink.gif

When you're on the program's information screen, press "enter" and you'll get more information.

Hmm. Clear works for me (get the program codes), but Enter does not. Is this a 2.5 thing or special thing? For whatever reason, I have not been selected for the SA beta despite entering for the update on the various entry stages as they were announced.

Now if we can only get that to work for boxing matches I'd be a hit in vegas!

Gee... this makes Kyle Chandler's "Early Edition" seem kinda boring! Maybe CBS should look into a series based on your TiVo... they could call it "To Be Announced" or "PRE-Season Pass."

I'm thinking something more like "Please Wait...this may take a while." http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/wink.gif

I wonder why my TiVo lists 2014 as the date...

Forgive me, but... How do you see the full date instead of just the year?

Thanks

Yeah, if you read the thread carefully -- I've asked the same question. Found out what the command is from the info screen (enter key), but don't know how to activate this or if it is a 2.5 think that only DTiVo and SA beta people can do right now.

hmmmm, can someone confirm that they cant tell me how to get the date to show? Pressing clear only displays the program data (not the date) and enter doesn't do anything.

So can you tell me or not?

It's a 2.5 thing.
