[QUOTE="David Abineri, post: 1138989, member: 114452"] In common usage, when I say I want to record Breaking Bad (by clicking on that title in the EPG) each week at 8pm (for example), I DO NOT mean record whatever happens to be on at 8pm if that channel's schedule has changed. Yes, there are two interpretations to this request ie Record at 8pm each week regardless of what is broadcast on that channel OR record Breaking Bad (the program I designated from the EPG) at 8pm each week meaning that if Breaking Bad is not on at 8pm, don't record it. MP apparently currently uses the first of these interpretations. I wonder if MP could be made to interpret this request to mean that I want to record the program called Breaking Bad at 8pm and not another program. Or perhaps have the option to interpret this either way? About three times a year where I am in the US our public tv shuts down regular programming for two weeks each time to fund raise. As a result, my MP records 6 weeks of fund raising requests over the course of the year in place of the many excellent programs that they offer and I record. There is a cumbersome add-on called TVWishList but MP needs a choice at the point where recordings are specified. I hope that this currently is seen as a major fault in MP and am optimistic that perhaps in can be addressed in some near-future version. Many thanks for an otherwise wonderful program.
