Although this is hilarious, it seems to be sourced to a single Twitter user. I wonder if it's actually true or just another example of fake news making it onto real news sites?

Surprised no one has mentioned that this could have been a TiVo problem -- either an error in their programming data, or, more likely considering that only one user seems to have reported it, a malfunction in an individual TiVo unit. I've had a TiVo for years, and they do screw up or crash occasionally.
"It remains to be seen if in response to its collapsing ratings, CNN will refocus from waging war on "fake media", and make airing of hard core porn during primetime TV a part of scheduled programming. Come, pardon the pun, to think of it, "Deep Quote with Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper" is a "news" show we could certainly sink our teeth into." ZH
