While I’m on the topic of TiVoCast, yesterday 3 Minute Ad Age seemed to go a bit crazy. My TiVo started downloading old episodes, going all the way back into September, again. And it downloaded some of them two or three times. I have my download limit set to 10, and I’d keep deleting them only to have ten more come down. So if you were seeing this, you’re not the only one. (Maybe I’m the only one, of course…) The good news is it eventually stopped, and today it downloaded a new episode as expected. So if your unit is still downloading old episodes just delete them and it’ll catch up.

As I mentioned last month GeekBrief.TV had stopped updating on TiVoCast sometime in early July. It had been one of my favorite TiVoCasts since it was added last November, so I missed it.

Well, I got a pleasant surprise today when GeekBrief.TV showed up in my Now Playing List. Nice to see that whatever the problem was it has finally been resolved.

On the not-so-nice side, I signed up for the new 3 Minute Ad Age TiVoCast and got deluged. Ten episodes downloaded (I set mine to Keep At Most 10), I watched and deleted them - and ten more came in. I watched and deleted those. And ten more came in. All told I think thirty episodes came in. It looks like they went live with a backlog and they were all marked as new. So beware.

And on a different note, after my laptop post last week I finally pulled the trigger and bought a new one. Why? I found a coupon for $500 off good through 9/22. That was about 1/3 off, too good to pass up.

Another channel has joined the TiVoCast lineup, and this one is most likely to appeal to industry insiders. 3 Minute Ad Age is a daily, roughly three minute (surprise), video produced by the magazine Advertising Age. As you might expect, it focuses on stories in the advertising and marketing industry.
