MythTV problem, but two weeks in a row the scheduled game
on CBS in the Portland, OR, market started out as the game
broadcast, but switched partway through to another game. I
don't recall the four teams from the previous week, but
yesterday it started out as the Bengals/Vikings game, and
then switched partway in to the Jets/Saints game. I'm on
Comcast. What I'm curious about is whether this was a CBS
thing or a Comcast thing.</blockquote>

<div>CBS.</div>

<div>The networks (CBS/FOX) switch from games that are
blowouts to games that aren't. A quick search yielded this
nugget from reddit:</div>

</div>
<div><span
style="font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px">"IIRC,
CBS and FOX are allowed to switch to broadcast another
game when it is at least the third quarter and one team
is ahead by 18 or more points. They will usually not
pull the trigger so soon on the off-chance that the
trailing team makes a comeback to make the game more
competitive."</span></div>

Interesting. That would explain it. <br>

record/watch either of those games? I alway set up to

was another game, the Steelers/Patriots game. That was the

Yes. I expected that game to be there. I wasn't interested in seeing
it. I just record well past the scheduled end of a game to allow for
overtime. It doesn't happen too often, but I've been bitten by it in
the past.<br>

No. <br>

Thanks for sharing that nugget about CBS/FOX doing this on purpose.
Grouse, grouse. <br>
