so I tried again this morning. Both times what did record was a dumb movie (last night’s some Adam Sandler twaddle, this morning’s Tom Cruise) so I’m thinking that HBO switched up their programming. Did anyone else see the 5/5 Bill Maher that was scheduled to play last night, or have a similar problem viewing it?

No new shows due to writer’s strike.
