One bright spot this year, is that Center Ice is now repeating games all night after they first air. So, you can stay up till 2am to watch your Wings. ;-) Yea, it totally sucks Matthew.

We bought a Tivo HD after having a Tivo Series 2 for 3 years. Bought the lifetime service for the HD unit right away. And why shouldn't we? We have been happy with Tivo for years. Until tonight when I tried to record the Red Wings vs Oilers game. I have watched almost every Wings game for 4 years in a row. I went through the pain of dealing with Time Warner to install a multistream cable card and everything works... except for this ridiculous copy protection. The big problem I have is that the DRM wants to delete the game an hour after it has finished live airing. This is unacceptable!! I rarely watch the games live because I have a very busy schedule. If I cannot save the games until the next day, or a few days later, I will not be watching... and I will no longer be a Tivo subscriber. Tivo is getting a phone call tomorrow from a very unhappy customer that just gave them $300 of hard earned money. I just experienced this awful problem.

They told me that I should be able to receive the games & they are working on a fix. I can still get the games as I put a spliter on the in coming cable & have a regular cable box also hooked up to my TV. You have to change the incoming to cable to view the games & also pay for the cable box but you'll have the best of both worlds. Also have your cable company put a boster on the cable line to keep the signal strong . Time Warner of Staten Island NY did this for me. You will also have acess to all of the In Demand services & pay per view from TIVO & your cable company, all this for an extra 7.00 a month I think it's worth it.
