I have a VIP222. I'm not really dedicated to television enough to
regularly check for 3am recordings and rescheduling them. I have
cinemax for a year for freeish and record pretty much every (non-porn)
movie, and once a month or so I play the "porn or not porn" scheduling
game. I suppose there's probably an option to blacklist a tuner during
a specified time block? If not that would be a nice feature. A lot of
cinemax's better older movies play between 2 and 6am so there's not
really a great time of day for the reboot for me unfortunately. I
would tolerate it more if after the reboot it turned itself back on
and tuned to the pre-reboot channel. Seems like a no-brainer to me
but, well, that would be too easy for us, right?
