[QUOTE="Shurik, post: 97169, member: 27729"] Hello guys, Thanks for the product - I like it a lot, even though it's been just few days since I installed it. [B]Record only new episodes[/B] Maybe I am wrong here, but I believe MP's options for TV recording are somethings like: "On any channel, on this channel, etc.". I was wondering if you guys are planning to implement (or whether it is already implemented and I am just completely out of line here) functionality to record only new episodes of a specific show? For example, I'd like to record "Battlestar Galactica", but I don't want to record old episodes airing on Space channel (in Canada).
