    Greetings everyone. I have to bring up a question that I have found not to be answered anywhere, not even on the apple forums, and not even here, so I am forced to bring it up again. I have been looking and looking for an answer, but have not found a straight one. On my iPod, there is no "Tv Shows" category at all. I have read about it being a bug in the firmware or something, but my iPod has been like this since I bought it. Does anyone know a real way to fix this? I have not been able to find a true way to downgrade my iPod either, thinking that might fix it. So if anyone has any suggestions, please give them! Thank you!

    It will not appear unless you buy a TV show from the iTunes Music Store, and even after you've bought a TV show, if you change the category of any of your self-encoded shows to 'TV show' it won't show up. An interesting 'bug' for sure.

    So it wont show up at all unless you actually buy a tv show? I just ruled that out right away because it would seem silly they would only do that for tv shows, and not music videos and movies. The music video category is there whether you buy one or not, oh well. If anyone else has anything to add. Please do!

    Yea it is pretty silly, I read that there is a converter if you want your home transcoded TV shows to show up in the TV show category, although I know no more than that it exists.

    Yes okay but that is just the problem, there is no "Tv Shows" category on my iPod.
