NBC to stop trying to annoy DVR owners

Peter Rojas writes over on Engadget:

Looks like NBC is finally going to be putting an end to one of their more odious practices: scheduling shows by a minute or two off in order to purposefully create the kind of scheduling conflicts that prevents TiVos and other digital video recorders from properly recording shows. Not as massive of a problem as it used to be now that there are more and more dual-tuner DVRs on the market, but even so it’s a totally weak tactic that creates a lot of needless frustration for viewers—if they want to make it harder to watch television then we can probably find something else to do with our time. At least in theory.
