[QUOTE="ASiDiE, post: 97170, member: 11017"] Unless you have very good details in you EPG guide, that is the only way (as far as I know) that we can set it to record new episodes. Usually the providers to do not us enough info for this to work well. I could be totally wrong on this, but I think the priorities have to do with what card it uses. I have a replay TV and this is how it handles this issue. When you set up a show to record you have the option to have it guaranteed or not. If it's guaranteed, it also looks at how many episodes you want to record and then says each show at this quality records at 2GB per hour and you have 5 shows set up. I will always need 10GB on the hard drive to record this show. Then guards this space and if you have enough guaranteed shows.. will say you don't have enough room to record new guaranteed shows. The Replaytv only has 1 tuner, so when you select a show that conflicts with another, it comes up and says "you already have a show set up at this time" and then tells you what it is. it then gives you the option to say "select this show to record away" Cancel and record the old show" It would be nice to be able to set up priorities on each show... It could be something simple like High and low. With a high setting, it always wants to record and low will record when it can but if a high show is recording at the same time, it will record the high show. If you set up 2 shows that are high, it will let you know and asks which show do you want to record. [/QUOTE]
