I have a satallite (ExpressVu) which offers many channels in many
time zones too choose from when recording. For example, typically I
record Grey's Anatomy every sunday at 7pm using "Record this program
in this time slot every week."
Why? To what end? Record anytime on any channel and it will grab
the first convenient showing of each episode.
I built my first mythbox this fall, therefore practically every episode
of everyshow has never been recorded.
I tried that with the Simpson's today and myth planned to record a 3
year old episode at 5pm instead of the episode at 8pm with today as the
origional air date. Not mention 3 episodes a day from here on. I really
only want to record one episode a week, but chosing " Find and record
one showing of this title each week." may end up recording an old show
on tuesday or today for that matter. Not sunday's new episode.
Perhaps what I am looking for is "Find and record an origional airing"
or something.
Is "Record this program in this time slot every week." actually
"Record this program in this time slot on this channel every week."
or will myth find and record on any channel this time slot ?
Actually, it's on this station so any channel with the same
callsign. IOW if I had a Weekslot for "The Apprentice" on KVBC,
it could use analog 3 KVBC or digital 123 KVBC.
For most shows, new episodes appear on certain days of the week.
So what? There is no reason to use undue restraint. The only
reason to use a timeslot is to avoid considering other showings
at other time or from other stations (The Simpsons at 8pm Sunday's
on FOX for example).
Okay, but I would like to include other showings at other times or from
other stations but only today when the new episodes come out.
it be hard to add record option like "Find and record one showing of
this title this day each week."? This would also be nice because
kFindDaily and kFindWeekly were implemented long ago and are most
useful for shows with multiple broadcasts but no descriptions or
inconsistent descriptive info.
