[QUOTE="wjw, post: 1116168, member: 79284"] Yes, Amongst other things, this is exactly what you can get from WishList. However, I do agree that it would be even better if this were available from within MP itself by using the remote to select the programme in the EPG and go from there. Currently this doesn't seem to be possible. However, for me at least, the other advantages far outweigh this snag, and quite frankly, it really isn't hard to do. There is no need to write SQL expressions! The problem with the standard MP advanced scheduler is that it will schedule to record repeats - unless a recording exists that you haven't watched yet - and therefore tie up a tuner for something that you don't really want. Wishlist gets round this completely as well as adding other flxibility. The fundamental problem that underlies all of this discussion/problem is that the MP database does not contain a field that contains the "Repeat" indicator that is included in EPG data. Therefor the various methods that have been developed to import the EPG data into the database have never been able to include this small, but vital, bit of data that would enable the proper handling of repeats. If only! Changing the database to include this would be trivial, but doing the coding to update the EPG grabbers would not! [/QUOTE]
