Alright, don't make fun of me. Alright, maybe you should:
You'd think I was 100 years old, but I just can't navigate/figure out the CSPAN television schedule -- especially trying to figure out the re-broadcasts. It seems really, really confusing to me.

I'm eternally confused about eastern/central broadcast time. Living in California, I never know what's taped and what's live....even if something says live, I don't believe it.

And don't get me started with satellite TV. I have DISH and when I see something advertised for 8PM, I don't know whether I subtract three hours for Pacific time, or is it really on at 8 California time but taped?

Seems like the time schedule for Sat TV is totally different than the time schedule for cable.

Am I the only one that goes through this?!?!

Anyway, any of you tech-minded people have any hints? I try to TIVO a program and time after time, I Eff it up! :argh: :banghead:

1. It's a filter to keep their demographics up.

2. You're not alone
I've never seen a C-SPAN schedule that's made sense to me.
