Live-Plus-Three Ratings Hold Surprises, Quirks

NEW YORK When Fox aired a new episode of So You Think You Can Dance last month, 994,000 viewers watched the show on their DVRs up to three days after its May 24 broadcast. While those viewers may have been dazzled by the fancy footwork on the show, the ads didn&#39;t prove as appealing--two-thirds of the viewers fast-forwarded through the commercials.

Yes, you heard right. This year's prime-time Emmys really were awarded a few days ago. Lots of winged statuettes were presented. A hardcore audience (the second-smallest on record) saw it happen.

I have good news, bad news, and worse news.  The good news is that I managed to get MythTV working well enough that it now plays standard definition channels better than the cable box alone, even though it's getting its signal from the cable output of the cable box.  I get this benefit because MythTV allows me to tweak various parameters that you can't change on the cable box.   The bad news is that high definition channels still look worse through MythTV than they do if I watch then directly from the cable box.  I don't expect to solve this problem. The cable box may be able to handle HDTV itself, but it outputs a digital signal in 480p, which is basically standard definition. The fact that I have two HDTV-capable tuner cards does me little good.  Here's the worse news. I had to learn way too much to get this far.

It's been a peculiar TV season. More than usual. This one so far has been a little of everything: good, bad, innovative, disappointing, surprising, and, ultimately, one giant learning experience for the people who make TV.  And that's one of the surprises right there.
