NBC returning TV shows to regular times

I've been a TIVO owner now for almost 5 years. I loved the idea of being able to set it record every show for a given a season. I've 'season passed' a great number of shows and quite a few on the NBC network. Some of my favorite shows are on that network. As this blogger states:

After a couple years of NBC tweaking start and end show times to push their advertising dollars (and tweak PVR owners in the process), it seems they're abandoning the practice of starting early and ending late.

NBC has finally realized the problems they caused all DVR owners out there less than conventional ending/starting show times. Usually my TIVO had no problem accomdating the 1-minute deviatoin to the the normally scheduled broadcast time of on the hour or on the half-hour. I only had issues when I wanted to record something else right after, which normally would start on the hour. So I would miss the show because of a scheduling conflict.

I would hope other networks (broadcast and cable) will learn from NBC's switch back to starting shows on the hour/half-hour. Unfortunately, as one of the commenter's stated, Discovery is starting to end their shows 1-minute after the hour. I, too, am starting to miss the last minute of Mythbusters.
