Sometimes, TiVo Really Guesses Right

A buddy of mine recently asked TiVo to record the Presidential Address to the U.S. Congress.  When that happens, TiVo sends you an email message confirming what it decided to do with your request.

Turns out, TiVo really knows what my buddy likes.  Check this out:

Hello,

Your online request for "Presidential Address : President addresses
Congress" has been received.

However this episode COULD NOT be scheduled to record because it conflicts
with a previously scheduled, higher priority recording.

program.

Will NOT record:
            Presidential Address   9/9   5:00 pm - 6:00 pm   3 KNTV
            overlaps with   Bonanza   5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Nice!
