I logged into the Time Warner website to set my DVR to record "Game Changer: The Blast That Shook the World" on Saturday, but the lineup says that something else is going to be on at that time- "Harry's Law - Hosanna Roseanna." I set it to record anyway, but are we positive it's this Saturday the 24th, at 8pm, on WNYT?
