I had a cascade of recording failures tonight as MCE rushed to find a channel where it could successfully record "Kid Nation".  With each channel it tried, I got a message that it could not be recorded due to restrictions set by the broadcaster.

The local broadcaster is CH television in Hamilton, Ontario and the cable carrier is Cogeco.  Here in Canada cable operators are forced to do what is called "simsubbing".  Basically this means that if any US channels are carrying the same show as a local Canadian broadcaster that the cable company is forced to broadcast the local broadcast on all channels.  Long story short - every channel that was showing "Kid Nation" at the time was showing the CH feed.

Were you able to record Kid Nation tonight?  If yes or no, please let me know where you live, what channel you watched it on, and what cable provider you are using.  I have some angry letters to write and would appreciate having your data to back up what I've experienced.
