What Was?

I'm sure I'm not the only person who has had this question, especially in this age of Tivos and DVRs: Where can I get a schedule of things that have happened?

It's interesting. I've completely given up on the printed TVGuide. Why pay money for a weekly throwaway schedule of TV shows that doesn't even cover well all 100+ channels of programming that I receive? I wouldn't, especially because I can get that information directly via my TV tuner or, if I'm desperate, through the internet. But the printed TV Guide has one advantage over these digital mediums - it keeps near-term historical information.

If I wanted to know what I missed on TV tonight now that it's 1am, I really can't think of a way to figure that out. I can only hope that my DVR recorded the programs that I wanted to watch. Since I don't have a Tivo, it's not quite smart enough to follow around the shows that I like if they change time slots or whatever. So it's of some small value to me to see the passed evening's, or even yesterday's or the day before's, schedule. And this isn't the only thing like this....
