   	Huh ... better eye than mine; I didn't notice the glitch, or   
   else I thought it was just supposed to be starry nights or something   
   like that.  (Admittedly, I watch these while also doing other tasks,   
   mostly on the computer, so unless I have explicit warning that I need   
   to look at the scren I'll probably miss it.)

   can get the chance before it cycles off the Tivo.
