VS Tour of California DVR Problems?

anyone successfully record the ToC coverage with a DVR? I thought my USB capture card was just acting up (freezing somewhere between 15-30 mins into the coverage 2 days in a row) until my friend said that his Tivo did the same thing on every single day of the coverage.

We both have comcast. Anyone else run into this problem? it's killing me to not have gotten any of the coverage recorded, and no more demonoid.

thanks.

Nope, my Time Warner DVR'd it perfectly. Preset and flawless every night.

I have tivo HD and comcast and it's recorded fine so far... I've only watched 3 days of it so far.

The footage itself is bad...they often had trouble with the camera signals.

My TIVO cut the stage 7 race coverage short a few minutes so I didn't get to see Hincape's win.

Same here, I was pissed, but my Comcast DVR recorded everything fine aside from that.

Thats because the stage ran over the scheduled time limit of coverage by at least 20 minutes. It wasnt short

Must have been a problem with the guide data Comcast was using.

Comcast blows big donkey ****.


My antenna reception is much clearer at my house. And of course they have a monopoly on cable in my neighborhood.

YES! I have Verizon FIOS and stage 4 only recorded 30 minutes and stage 6 wasn't even recorded, it was the PBR crap. Haven't finished stage 7 yet to see if it got cut short.
