Saw this NYT article:

"One of the main selling features of digital video recorders is their ability to record programs without the viewer having to enter start and stop times. It was unclear why certain shows were cut short on the malfunctioning TiVo's. The company's engineers isolated the problem to Series 2 machines (TiVo units integrated into DirecTV receivers were not affected). "
As has been said before, while the R15 gets bashed on TCF, all DVR's have their problems.
