Freeview Playback Due to launch in 2009 - with this you can record a whole
series with one instruction and, if you want to record two programmes that
clash, it will find one of the shows on a repeat broadcast and record it
instead."
Sounds a lot like MythTV to me....
The difference being that MythTV has to make guesses about which
programmes are which, based on the episode names and descriptions in the
EPG. It does a good job, but not a perfect one. The Freeview Playback
on-air signalling (which for the features described, is already being
broadcast) enables PVRs to do a perfect job - or as close to perfect as
is realistic. :-) I know the MythTV guys were talking about
implementing support for Freeview Playback signalling a while back - I
don't know what its current status is though.
