Daily Show w/Ron Paul blackout via Comcast?

[agaiziunas]

I'm a Chicagoland area Comcast subscriber. I have a series recording set on my DVR for all episodes of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

I also have it set to the default setting of "Record new episodes only". I noticed tonight when checking my scheduled recordings, the Daily Show was not set to record as part of the series. I checked the detailed listing via the on-screen Comcast guide and it showed tonight's episode as a "Repeat" of the September 22nd show (thus not set to record).

I called Comcast to verify the listing.. and while on the phone with them, voila! my DVR is now updated to record the Daily Show tonight as a "New" program with the description including Ron Paul.

I'm not trying to be conspiracy minded here, but just curious... anyone else with a Comcast box & DVR out there.. does your box show the September 22nd repeat on the guide, or does it show tonight's scheduled episode with Ron Paul?


Thanks,

I'm about an hour outside of Chicago and I didn't have any problems (also a Comcast subscriber). Probably just a glitch.

That's what I was thinking.. they hit my box with a download and not the first time my box has had out-of-date guide info. I didn't see any other posts here or on dailypaul on the same topic but just wanted to make sure Thanks for the reply.

I have Comcast in Chicago and mine is accurate.

I work for Comcast. My superiors aren't smart enough to do something like that.

It was definitely the Bilderbergs.

Comcast does that to my Daily Show recordings all the time. I'm not sure why. Tonight's was recorded.

Same, every once in a while I'll open up my DVR and see that the show from the night before wasn't recorded because it was listed as a repeat
