[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1199923, member: 141969"] I don't use "TvWishList", so I am not sure that I should be posting in this thread. But as no one else has replied, may I make these points: (1) As far as I know, MP does not currently support true series recording. In the UK, programmes have unique series ids and unique programme ids, and these permit true series recording. [b]But MP does not use them[/b]. :( (2) MP implements "series" recording by matching programme titles, i.e. all programmes with the specified title will be recorded on the chosen repeating schedule (i.e. every day, or every weekday, or every Saturday, or ...). (3) In the broadcast EPG, the title of the Sunday programme is different from the title of the Saturday programme. So a "series" recording for the Saturday programme will [b]not[/b] record the Sunday programme. :( (4) One possible solution is to use wildcard characters. So, if the "*" character is used to represent "any characters", you might be able to specify that you want to record all programmes with titles such as: [b]Strictly Come Dancing*[/b] Does "TvWishList" support this use of the "*" character? (5) If "TvWishList" does not support this use of the "*" character, you will need to define a separate recording schedule for the Sunday programme. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
