My TIVO recorded all three debates off FOX like I programmed it to.

What does it matter? It's not going to get CBS better ratings. Tivo'ed shows don't count for Neilsen ratings, particularly if you're not a Neilsen family.

It's Kerry's fault.

You probably have given a "green thumbs up" to various political events in the past and thus TiVo was making a discretionary recording for you.

My Tivo also recorded all three debates on FoxNews as requested.

My TiVo totally sleeps around.

Someone hacked TIVO to make it record C-BS. Any one who knows Linux could probably have done it. <shrug

My Tivos all recorded Fox last night. But I have the Tivo suggestions turned off rather than waste Tivo's hard disk space on "crap" that Tivo thinks I would like.

Smacks of censorship don't it. Big Brother is telling you that this is what you want, not what you ordered.

I recommend turning off the "Suggestions" feature, or the next thing you know TiVo will think you are gay.

But does TiVo suggest any other Fox News Channel shows? No, it suggests Aaron Brown on CNN.

Back in the dark ages before rottentomatoes.com, I had a CD with movie info and reviews.

One of its features was suggesting movies based on other movies you liked. I got suspicious when it always suggsted "9 1/2 Weeks", regardless of what else I said I liked.

Finally, I said my favorite movies were "Snow White", "Bambi", and "Sleeping Beauty". Sure enough, it said I would enjoy "9 1/2 Weeks".

My cable company, Comcast, has turned down the volume way down on Fox news, presumably to discourage viewership. Anyone else notice this?

I have the real TiVo AND a DirecTV receiver with built-in TiVo and have not seem anything sinister at all, but I'll keep this in the back of my mind and pay attention in the future. Not sure how I ever got along without my TiVo in the past.

I can't figure out how my TIVO knows I'm Catholic. I am, but I never told it that. I get suggestions off EWTN (even in Spanish, go figure) all the time. It recorded the debates on Fox for me, though!

I have Tivo and I record the debates without a hitch. Perhaps you have/had the wrong channel lineup that you are supposed to choose on startup.

Just a shot in the dark. I be very upset if Tivo was in cahoots with See-BS!!!

I've never had my TiVo record on a different channel than I asked for... though sometimes, it seems to like tuning itself to the Discovery Channel overnight even though it's not recording anything.

One of my liberal friends has often joked that someone at TiVo has decided that I’m too conservative and that I need a little enlightenment.

He may be right.
