[QUOTE="bigj, post: 91842, member: 10940"] You might be right that this is what's been said - I don't know. But I disagree that it makes sense. If I click a program in the EPG and say record this every week then why on earth would I want that to record some other random program? I can't think of any common usage case where that would be the required behaviour. I imagine right now that very few people actually use the 'record weekly' option because of this. I can understand that the current implementation might happen to just set up a recording entry to record weekly at that exact time. But I think this implementation is wrong. It should be implemented as "record this program weekly on this day on this channel whatever time it ends up being shown" - i.e. like the "record everytime on this channel" but limited to that day each week. The problem with choosing the existing alternative policy of 'record everytime on this channel' is that many broadcasters repeat the same show several times through a week. But right now the "record everytime on this channel" is the only viable option. I'm constantly deleteing the numerous redundant episodes of Torchwood... BigJ. [/QUOTE]
