I disagree, this is not intuitive at all. I know plenty of people who I
would encourage to use Myth that find digital
cable boxes daunting, never mind a PVR like Myth. Every day should mean
Every day.
I missed a weekend of recordings because I wasn't aware of this feature.
Even a line in the manual wouldn't have helped, I only use the manual
for technical questions. Myth is usually intuitive
enough that reading the manual for something as simple as scheduling a
recording isn't necessary.
I would suggest different scheduling options. "Every weekend" and "every
weekday" are possibly additions.
There might be a better way, but anything that signals to the user that
the existing "every day" option has two meanings
would vastly improve this features intuitiveness.
Thanks,
