[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1272647, member: 141969"] I record most programmes that I watch (I rarely watch live), but I have not noticed the problem that you describe. The symptoms suggest that you selected option (8) in the list of repeat types. In my view the text supplied for the various repeat types is not as clear as it might be, so I edited my language file to reword the text. This is what I see: [LIST] [*](1) Once at this time [*](2) Every time on this channel [*](3) Every time on every channel [*](4) Weekly at this time [*](5) Daily at this time [*](6) Weekdays at this time [*](7) Weekends at this time [*](8) Weekly on this day [/LIST] If you select option (4), it should record only the programme on that channel on that day of the week at that time. If you select option (8), it will record every occurrence of that programme on that channel on that day of the week whatever time it is broadcast. In the UK the minor channels often have irregular scheduling, so if there is a series that I want to record I select option (2), and then manually cancel the repeats that I don't want. This does work (it does not cancel the series). If you enter the "Recording Schedule" panel, move the focus to the recording that you want to cancel, and press the OK button on your remote control, a pop-up will appear with "Cancel this programme" as the first selection. Selecting that cancels only that programme, and not the entire series. I note that you say that you are using IPTV channels. I have never used IPTV, so it is possible that there are some differences for IPTV. If you are using MP2, the repeat types will be the same (both MP1 and MP2 use the same "TV Server" code), but the panels may be different (I have never used MP2). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
