Psychoville started on ABC last week (5 May) on ABC 1 & ABC HD - this week (12 May) it showed up in the guide as Episode 2 on ABC 1 and as Episode 3 on ABC HD, so my Media Centre recorded both (both were actually episode 2).

I'm now concerned that next week when the real episode 3 is transmitted it won't get recorded as it may think it is a repeat.


(I'm using Windows 7 without Interactive).

Don't even bother using it - it gives you a false sense of security, it may seem to be working for a while - but eventually it will bite you in the ass.

It does NOT work with series recording on Media Centre - this week I've had it unschedule shows that I want to record and replace them with totally unrelated shows that I have no interest in.

Read some of the posts in this thread for more details: title keyword recordings not working as expected

This page: Compatibility mentions that it is compatible - but that is far from my experience.

Is there any chance that the Windows application will be fixed? Soon? I really like the features that Interactive offers - but I just can't use it if I can't be sure that it will schedule the correct shows.

I setup a title keyword recording with this string +title:"the pacific" expecting that only shows with phrase "The Pacific" in the title would be scheduled - but I've been getting all kinds of random shows scheduled that have "the pacific" somewhere in the episode description (like "Man Vs Wild" today & "Britain Above" tomorrow).

I decided to delete the keyword record, but those shows remained scheduled - selecting one of the shows and clicking cancel caused this message to be displayed ("Error finding keyword id for keyword task id: 955199").

Is there any way I tell which keyword caused a particular show to be scheduled? If so I could try to refine my keyword searches to be more specific. For example, for some reason the Seinfeld episode "The Contest" has been scheduled for tomorrow - but I have no idea why.
