Can you not record on their DVR in manual mode, by time and channel? That is weird. Glad I kept my TiVO.
Yes, I suppose one could, but the few times I have tried (usually on C-SPAN weekends, for which Comcast doesn't always have proper full listings) have been more unsuccessful than not.
Anyway, I emailed NewsBusters as well to see if they know anything or would be willing to investigate further. Hopefully this thread will come to Glenn's attention and his staff can get to the bottom of this and just maybe provide an explanation.
