Hear we go!

Tell me about it!  I was glad to prove myself right to my son & daughter that nearly every soccer game ends 0-0 or 1-0.  2 to 2.5 hours of your life wasted just to reach 0-0.  I really love the soccer highlights as they highlight... nothing!  Yay, they ran into the middle, then the other team ran into the middle, then they run back into the middle.  Then 6 guys side-by-side jump up in the air accomplishing nothing.  Then someone pretends to get hurt.  Yay soccer!

But it's not all a joke: once again I miss the first 30-45 minutes of a CFL game!!  And TSN never replays these things anymore (unless you win the Tuesday-night vote) so forever more I will not have the first 30 of this game on PVR.  And THAT really cheeses my OCD off like you wouldn't believe.
Never go full Johnston!

Looks like they always tape over TSN1 with the crappy overrun of soccer, but TSN3 is usually clean.  Just look at the preceding program, if it's misplays of the month, its not running over...

I tape all of the feeds that say CFL just in case.
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

Ya, I'm going to have to start doing that.  Because after soccer then golf or tennis will start having overages.  My comp PVR may not let me automate preferring TSN3, but I will certainly try!  Otherwise add a manual PVR adjustment to my pickems/fantasy regimen.  I'll look for your TSN3+"crap shows before it" tricks.

Ya, my Shaw would let me just record everything, but my computer PVR can only do 1 at a time.  Yes, I can transfer between the 2, but man is that a royal pain.
