As others have mentioned, this is because the proper "repeat" flag isn't being set in the guide data. Like Megazone said, if Tivo isn't *sure* it's a repeat, Tivo records. I have this exact same problem with both Daily Show and Colbert Report. Here's what I do, though this may not work for most people. The Daily Show and Colbert Report are favorites of mine, but I tend to only want to watch them in a timely fashion since they're topical -- in other words, if I don't get to Colbert for a couple of days, well, I'm not that interested anymore. (I mean it's probably still funny and all, but it's not the same.) So for both shows I have SPs set up to keep a maximum of *1* episode. In theory, then, I've always got the latest one sitting there for me to watch. Whether it's from the Tuesday 10 PM airing or the Wednesday 1 PM airing doesn't matter to me, really. It's not perfect -- reruns can screw me up, and I do end up missing the occasional show if I'm busy. But it's better than filling up my DVR. Now if only Chiller would fix the #*^$@(*^% guide data for Twin Peaks... -- Christopher D. Heer -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
