A few responses place inline....
I see. This is an entirely different topic than your first post
even hints at. You're not getting 3 episodes per day for "Grey's
Anatomy" are you?
I agree, the Simpson's situation was different from the Grey's Anatomy
but it only became apparent through our discussion.
So now on to this new topic:
Perhaps what I am looking for is "Find and record an origional
airing" or something.
That's a duplicate matching option rather than a recording type.
In the recording options "Scheduling Options", the item for where
to look for dups has "Record new episodes only" which is normally
in the first 14 days from the original air date.
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.
But "today" isn't significant, "new episodes" is.
Ahhhh, where ahhhh == paradigm shift.
For example, we
know that Survivor has new episodes on Thursday, right? So if you
made a rule to just record Survivor on Thursday's only, depending
on when you read this, you may have already missed the one time only
season finale Sunday night.
Yes, yes, I have been nipped by this situation before. Who would have
known a grown female could get so upset because America's Next top model
didn't record????

program.title LIKE 'Survivor: %'
AND DAYNAME(program.starttime) = 'Thursday'
This would record any time or channel on Thursday but it's the
wrong solution. We could also create a rule to only record on
the originalairdate and that may catch a new MythBusters at 9pm
for it's first airing but if there were a conflict, it couldn't
choose the 2am rebroadcast (next day's date) or any other showing
ever.
Ahhh, thank you Bruce. I feel so much better. Thank you for the
discussion this was very enlightening. This makes absolute sense.
