| TiVo Tip: Juggling World Cup Recordings Attention World Cup Soccer fans (there are only 500 million of you): If you want to record just the games, and not all the post-game specials on football hooligans, etc., here’s the tackle to take for managing your TiVo recordings: Create a keyword or title WishList® search for “WORLD CUP SOCCER,” choosing Sports as the category and Sports Event as the sub-category.

But perhaps more notably for the likes of us was The Jersey Boys, who sang their farewell song, “Bye, Bye, Katie” (to the tune of “Bye, Bye, Baby”), with the following verse: “Why, oh, why do you have to leave-o? / You’re the one girl in town we TiVo.” Cute. See you at CBS, Katie. Back to top |
