[QUOTE="Pat Clark, post: 1035941, member: 123421"] You're right. People have mentioned both. But I think they're after the same thing. They say they want "new" shows, but what they really want is "not old" shows. Your explanation is thorough and appreciated. So, judging from that, it appears to me that it's a design "error" or "missing use case" or some such. What I think people want, besides mind reading software, is this. "Don't re-record tomorrow, what I just watched tonight and deleted, or moved." Most people I know use a PVR to time-shift and commercial detect. They watch a show ONLY after it has been recorded and comskip'ed. Then they delete it or save it somewhere else. Many channels here in the US endlessly repeat shows in the same time frame (a week or a month), as well as repeat shows years later. Ideally, (at least as an option) MP would catch all of these situations and not re-record them. When you "remove" all the repeats, you can watch what you want, when you want, and still go out on Friday and Saturday nights!! So even if we have "perfect" season and episode numbers, it will still be deficient for most people, since MP will re-record if the recording is missing. I say most people, because who can afford the disk space to keep all previous recordings around indefinitely? I have 2.5 TB, and can't afford space for innumerable HD shows that I'll never watch again -- but if I delete them, then whoops, there they are again. [/QUOTE]
