[QUOTE="foxbenw, post: 842020, member: 115475"] Hello 1) ok, I have changed that. I originally had it in the SQL expression and had just switched it over. 2) I understand. However I imagine it would seem more intuitive if preferred group only applied to new schedules and the switch enabled 're-record existing programs in preferred group'. I guess most people using it will want to prefer HD over other channels in the epg. Eg what happens a lot these days is that we see the same program on three times within an hour. channel sd, channel sd +1, and channel hd. This will be my most common usage for preferred group, but I will also want to replace some older recordings with hd if they are aired. 3)this ran more like I expected. No duplicates and no repeated old programs. However I noticed 2 issues: A) it did not schedule any recordings from the preferred group, even though there are some that it should have (episodes already recorded in non-preferred group). B) my schedule called 'whitechapel' is not returning anything. The epg data has no episode name or number but it is a series. I have tried using 'default' and 'none' for the duplicate management, but both return nothing. When I took off the 'skip repeated episodes' flag, it scheduled everything, including repeats. Is this due to the blank episode name and number? I have 'skip repeated episodes' checked for all of my wishes currently. Perhaps this caused a) to happen as well.
