It will know whenever Comcast gets around to informing Tribune Media of
the changes. zap2it.com is the Tribune website where you can see the
lineups.

The answer to that depends on how you programmed 60 minutes

If you programed "Record any occurance of 60 minutes on chan 9 at time
and day) Standard "Channel" type recording) then you will need to delete
that channel and create a new channel or change it to chan 6 (If you can)

On the other hand if you programmed a 6o minutes theme (Any occurance
of 60 minutes, any time, any channel) then your recorder will do as it
was told and record any occurance.

I'm guessing you did the first.
