The answer to the question you asked is "no" but there should be
a solution the the situation you describe. This has come up before.
See: http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2005-August/099099.html
So I grabbed LIFEP ("P"acific, might be LIFE where you are) listings
and found that this week there is a four hour "Human Trafficking" and
next week there are two Lifetime type movies at 7 and 9. Obviously
an 8:30 manual would not be the right thing for the next couple weeks.
Here is a power search rule to record anything that is a movie on
Lifetime during primetime on Tuesdays:
Rule Name: "Lifetime Movies"
program.category_type = 'movie'
AND channel.callsign = 'LIFEP'
AND HOUR(program.starttime) >= 19
AND HOUR(program.starttime) < 23
AND DAYNAME(program.starttime) = 'Tuesday'
Check the callsign then cut'n'paste this into the Custom Record page.
See: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.8 . This
will record any Tuesday evening Lifetime movie and keep all of the
guide data.
