[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1291646, member: 153283"] Thinking about it, I think these are the options I would most want to use: a) Record every time on this channel; b) Record weekly on this channel - meaning not every time; i.e. at the time of the selected program; c) Record matching series on this channel. I have developed another way of handing schedules that I've called 'Consolidate Schedule'. I use this option to handle when the EPG appends the episode name into the program name field.
