I have a recording set up for Star Trek DS9 on GO!, but each episode shows twice in 24 hours, and I don't want to record both. Since all the episodes are marked as repeats, I can't use that as the filter.
I started by just deleting the second showing each week from my recordings list, but now I'm trying the "Record 1 per day" setting, which should work.
What I'm concerned about is that if GO! changes the schedule of shows (which seems to happen often) and starts showing double episodes, I will miss episodes being recorded.
Is there a way to record the "first current showing" of a show when it is already marked as a repeat for all episodes?
This is one of the few instances where the "Limit" option on series recordings actually does something useful. Set it to Record 1 per day.
But read their second paragraph... if Nein changes the Go! schedule to put 2 eps back to back, then ICE will only record the 1st... it is a bit tough really to know how to deal with this all (unless ICE uses a tiny bit more intelligence about what it sets timers for).
Just realised that 'record 1' won't work, since the second DS9 repeat showing is on a different day - rather annoying!
This is going to be a bigger problem than I thought - 7mate is showing multiple showings of old shows, and unless you record them all, there is no way for IceTV to just record the first showings.
