[QUOTE="RonD, post: 1035484, member: 117536"] Adding a bit more to gonzo's comment. If you use mc2xml/xmltv you can also use a command line option to add the " *" to the program name. With the command line you can use -a to mark new episodes with a " *" or use -b to mark all repeats with a " *". see [url]http://mc2xml.hosterbox.net/[/url] Once you get your EPG setup with this option your recordings will now use the " *" as part of the series Title. For example if you search Title for "Big Bang" you get 2 recording options The Big Bang Theory The Big Bang Theory * You can use this to control if you record new episodes or repeats. In my case I had a number of Series set to record without the " *", I used the -b option to mark repeats and will only record new episodes. If you want to record all episodes, you need to setup 2 recordings, one with "The Big Bang Theory" (new) and a 2nd with "The Big Bang Theory *" (repeats). Not sure how TV Series will deal with the " *" for repeats. I had not noticed this option before, thanks gonzo. [/QUOTE]
