Goddammit, I'm so tired of Tivo shoveling this useless crap at us when they can't be bothered to fix bugs like the Clear button intermittently not deleting a show on the info screen. They can't be bothered to add a "Once Every 24 Hours" feature to Season Passes so that the frickin' thing won't record Daily Show six times in a day. But they can throw redundant crap like this at us. Tivo sucks.

@StutiCebriones: Have you tried telling your tivo to only record new epidsodes of the daily show? That way it will only record one episode a day instead of all of them.

@mpotter: i have never been more pissed off than this morning when i realized that Tivo was recording not one, but FOUR john stewarts a day! even though i told it to only record "new".

however, i don't think this is Tivo's fault - it's effing comedy central's fault for not correctly tagging their shows.

Tucker's right, mpotter, although in my case it was recording all six showings of TDS. And yes, it's Comedy Central's fault for not properly tagging every showing of every episode of every show, but a "Once in 24 hours" option for Season Passes would cure it. It's true of most shows broadcast daily, not just TDS and Comedy Central.

@StutiCebriones: That's one of the few shows that's never properly tagged -- I set up a repeated manual recording instead of a season pass. Sure it sucks as a worekaround but it will work, and free up your tivo.

@StutiCebriones: Also, I think a lot of people appreciuate that Tivo adds thsi "useless crap". They're one of the few companies that contiinually adds new functionality to an existign device. And variety of media options is good.
