I changed mine from DC local to CBS West. I hope that's enough.

Yet another example of the networks truly showing how little their care
about the viewers.

A simple fix for the problem... change the Season pass option to record ALL
with duplicates until the rescheduled Without A Trace episode airs.

Well, he's probably overreacting some about this incident, but I have to
agree with him on some scheduling choices. The whole
not-starting-on-the-half-hour-so-we-overlap-with-other-station's-shows
thing is incredibly rude and annoying, and really gains them little.

The DirecTV DVR program guide now has the correct episode info
for tomorrow's delayed broadcast of Without A Trace.

It was a "trickle" update since it didn't appear there earlier today.
