Most of the regional sports network channels now utilize minor channel numbering scheme (eg- 620-1, 620-2, etc). TiVo refuses to support this numbering scheme because it is "not mandated by the FCC." (the response I got back from their customer support). As a result, standard stand-alone TiVos are unable to directly tune these channels. The TiVo people I spoke with were utterly uninterested in being helpful, almost to the point of contempt. They say that DirecTV is the cause of this problem and they are not interested in fixing it. I am assuming this problem is only going to get worse as the minor numbering scheme is expanded beyond just the RSNs.
