[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1291629, member: 153283"] This isn't quite true for MP because programs are not joined to schedules by id. The code looks for matching programs by channel (when relevant), program name (when relevant) and/or start and end times. I would probably have modeled it differently by having a schedule sub-record for each matching program, matching by id. That approach would have allowed much greater control over schedules. The thing is that, for me, almost all of the available schedule types are not relevant to my needs. For example, I never record programs by time slot. I always schedule recordings by program name. Therefore, I would only use: a) Once; b) Every time on this channel; c) Every time on every channel (though I've never used this in practice); d) Weekly every time on this channel; And now 'Matching series on this channel'. Also, when you choose to record a program, the top option is Record (meaning record only once). Therefore, I don't understand why the Advanced Record option includes Once in the list when it is already the first choice of the previous menu. Are there any options for scheduling recordings you would like to have that don't exist at present? [/QUOTE]
