Normal non-search rules match on title only. If you want to do
something more specific, you can do so with Advanced Search or
Custom record. In this case, I'd recommend Advanced Search and
enter all, or at least unique parts of the title and subtitle then
click Record on the popup and choose to record one showing.
Maybe I'm just misunderstanding some of the recording options, but it
seems like I can record a specific showing (i.e. a specific channel
and time), or I can record this title anytime (but not restrict to the
selected subtitle).
The FindOne type was created to allow the scheduler to choose
showings of a movie or special (though it is useful in other ways
too) as there was no other way to do this. Some of the potential
problems were that differences in the descriptive info may make it
fail such as "(Live)" vs "(Taped)" or "(Dolby)" vs "(Stereo)" so
the descriptive info is ignored for the sake of the primary need
and for consistency with the other non-search record types.
