Thanks, Pradeep. I've never used a Tivo, so I'm not going to be comparing it to that. It's a little disappointing that it can't pad recordings, but it's not really a big deal right now. I just fear that the networks are going to be messing with the length of shows more and more. One other thing...

Why can't the Olympics get judges/referees/umpires that know what they're doing? I'm watching the gold medal baseball game between Cuba & Australia, and with Cuba up 2-0 in the 4th, Australia had two men on and the batter hit the ball to the outfield wall. The centerfielder went back, and had...

The basketball team actually won a game... barely. They beat Greece 77-71.
