Funny thing… on my TiVo listings, _Enterprise_ has been renamed _Star Trek: Enterprise_.
Scary thing… this means that the season pass for Enterprise no longer works, and TiVo was not going to record Enterprise this week and next.
If you’re in the same situation (this just may be a fluke of my local cable provider – who knows), find _Star Trek: Enterprise_ and Season Pass that.
If this causes you to miss Enterprise (sorry, that’s now **Star Trek: Enterprise** ) check to see if your UPN station repeats new eps on Sunday.
## Live Long.
And may the twit who renamed the show never prosper.

It’s a good thing you posted it, because people do need to watch it or at least record it on its first-run night. They don’t count the ratings when people catch it on the weekend reruns.
If you want it to last past season three, [here is a good site with links, addresses, etc.](http://www.triphammered.com/support.shtml#TPTB)

It happened with my TiVo as well, so it’s apparently not just a local fluke.

So that’s why it wasn’t on the to do list for tonight! I thought they were already showing a rerun or something but hadn’t gotten around to checking yet.
Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, we had that problem too.
They’ve also changed “Stephen Speilberg’s Taken” to just “Taken”. I went and double checked all my season passes after I figured out why it wasn’t recording Enterpoop.
This is on DirecTv with a DirecTivo, so they did it to everyone apparently.
I’m really suprised that Tivo doesn’t automatically remap show names, or at the very least send out a message that points out “We’re renaming these shows”. They do it when they rearrange channels.

I’m not convinced TiVo was responsible – the program guide info comes from the cable companies, right? I also notice that UPN is now advertising the show as Star Trek: Enterprise, so maybe this was a change mandated by them which was implemented before it even got to TiVo’s database.

It’s not TiVo. My wife and I were looking for the rerun of “Extinction” on Saturday, searching by the usual title “Enterprise” in our Comcast video guide. We couldn’t find it, and assumed it wasn’t running. It was by pure luck that we ran across it later that night, a few minutes before it started, under the title “Star Trek: Enterprise.”
The title change was made by the show’s producers, and filtered down from there.

Crap! I’m not going to home in time to reprogram TiVo!

Digital Cable here. Last week, in my digital cable channel guide, Enterprise was not even listed. UPN showed a block of “TBD” from 8 to 9.
Talk about defying your fans to watch…

It changed on Bell ExpressVu’s Guide too!
Why?

Well, the production company changed the official name of the show. It used to be just “Enterprise.” Said that on screen and everything. Now it’s called, and says, “Star Trek: Enterprise.”
It still isn’t _quite_ Star Trek, but whatever. 😉
