Time to reschedule your TiVo Series1 manual recordings

TiVoSure, TiVo hasn't sold Series1 boxes for a while. But there's still plenty of people out there who bought the original TiVo and never saw a reason to upgrade it.

Well, this weekend you're about to see your first major glitch. TiVo's official Daylight Saving Time page is up. Like we told you earlier this week, Series3 units will handle the earlier Daylight Saving Time change just fine. Series2 units will not miss any recordings, but may display the wrong time for a while.

But TiVo Series1 units will do more than just show the wrong time on the clock. Your Series1 unit will properly record Season Pass, Wish List, and pretty much anything you schedule through the program guide. But manual recordings on these older boxes rely on local time.

That means for the three weeks between March 11th and April 1st, any manually scheduled recordings will start an hour late. So you'll have to schedule them to record an hour early. The easy solution is to schedule all of your recordings through the program guide, but if you have a channel that doesn't show up properly in the guide, or some other reason for scheduling manual recordings, maybe you should keep a clock set to the wrong time by your TiVo as a reminder.

I get all giddy over new shows that I think have a great premise, and then I get bored quickly. Apparently I can't handle more than 5 seconds of bad television. Here are The Five: New shows that are already getting old:

College basketball comes to iTunes

ncaa itunesIt will be interesting to see whether this deal flies with basketball fans. CBS will put condensed versions of all 63 NCAA men's tournament games on iTunes. They can be purchased for the usual $1.99 each or you can save some serious cash by getting a season pass for $19.99. Remember, these are condensed versions of the games, but full-length versions of the semi-final and final games will be available on iTunes as well. On top of all that, there will also be "buzzer beaters", or compilations of great moments in NCAA tournament history, available for purchase.

So, baskeball fans, are you tempted?
