Is the <i>real</i> TiVolution beginning?

The new television season is beginning and it seems NBC has fired the first shot across the bow of the Personal Video Recorder owner's ships. According to TiVo, today's new episode of "ER" on NBC starts precisely at "9:59 p.m.". Yes, that's "9:59", not "10:00", "9:59". Update: I just took a look at the rest of tonight's NBC lineup. "Friends" runs from 8:00 to 8:48p.m., Will and Grace from 8:48p.
