Anybody see the Entire Broadcast???

I gotta get a DVR. I set up the DVD recorder for 4:30 to 7:00, and then as I'm sitting in Thunder Valley at 9:00 watching the finals, I'm wondering how I'll get to watch it when I get home. Oh, well. Had a great weekend anyway.
 
The DVR works as well as anything if you can't be glued to the TV. I can't set mine for the series and must set each race separately. Perhaps others can tell whether the DVR would have picked it up when shown later.

Can't you program the DVR for just "NHRA"? That's how I do mine & it gets it all. I just adjust the time for the Pro Mod & Sportsman show (don't need the extra 2 hours and since they're back 2 back I don't want to miss one).

As for Sunday, I think that the additional broadcast was added so late that the cable companies didn't have time to change the name. I manually DVR'd the program that was scheduled @ 10:pm(ET) which was SportsCenter.

That's exactly what I did with my DVR for Directv. These last minute changes are too close for the satellite/cable companys to change their schedule.
 
When I found out there was massive rain delays (here and elsewhere) I checked the NHRA site, found the article about the additional broadcast, went on my iPhone and told my DVR to record the show. :)

Actually, I can't. No one at Comcast seems to know how to set a series recording. They do know how to raise their prices on a constant basis.

P.S. I would like to have seen the whole show, but it was a weather deal and that's not anything Comcast or ESPN can control. "Everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." Mark Twain

I probably thought I would see a reminder about the second broadcast, No Biggy.....

They talked about it all during the 2nd half of the main show, as soon as they realized they needed it. But you had to be watching to know. If you were just out having a real life and hoping your DVR would catch it, you were outta luck.
