HBO's America Undercover
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Why doesn't HBO title their America Undercover shows as such? I'd love to set up a season pass or WL, but "America Undercover" isn't part of the title or show description for any of these pieces.

I know they buy documentaries and then just run them as part of "America Undercover Sundays"

Thoughts on another way to handle, other than a manual recording?

Just set up a manual recording for HBO, Sunday nights at 10 PM. That should cover you.

Yes, definitely watch HBO on Sundays at 10PM, but don't expect to see America Undercover.

Too clever, dschwab.

Manual recordings at 10 PM worked perfectly for me, until The Wire started to air. Then I turned off the manual recording -- I'm pretty sure there aren't any new "America Undercover" episodes airing until the fall anyway.

When it does resume, I'm sure it will have a consistent premiere time slot, with multiple repeats throughout the week (just like every other HBO original.) So -- amend my previous suggestion to read:

"Just set up a manual recording for HBO, <insert date and time that the episode premieres.> That should cover you."

As far as setting up a SP or WL to catch older episodes you may have missed in the meantime, well then the best I can suggest is that you check out:

...for the episode titles, and then set up one-shot recordings (via SP or WL, if it's not within your guide data's 2 week range) for the ones you're interested in.
