[QUOTE="vuego, post: 168978, member: 23741"] I definitely think we should use the episode-num information available in most EPG sources. If the user for example wants to record every show based on Title, only one recording per episode should be made. This is how SageTV handles it: 1. Normally the first airing would be recorded. If the show is still in the recorded folder OR watched and then deleted - any rerun would not be recorded. 2. If one episode was successfully recorded but removed before you watched it - the next rerun would be recorded. Then falling back on rule 1 for later reruns. 3. If the tv-card was busy when the episode first aired, or conflicting with another recording, it would automatically schedule the rerun for recording. Only if there's no reruns for two simultaneously aired programs, a conflict will be made and requiring user attention to solve or only one show would be recorded. [/QUOTE]
