MTV needs to set their clocks

Written by vtluu on June 18th, 2002

It seems shows on MTV always start 1-5 minutes behind the “standard” start time of shows on other channels (which start on the exact half or full hour). I’m guessing this is a deliberate move on MTV’s part (to hook people channel-surfing while commercials are playing on the other channels), but it confuses my TiVo and it drives me nuts. Even more so that the “delay” seems inconsistent; sometimes it’s as short as a minute, sometimes it’s as many as four or five.
