and Monday's episode shows a "E" next to it, which is correct. (after Friday's episode has been recorded then I assume the Monday episode will show a "P" or "R", depending upon if I deleted the recording or not)
Yes, correct.
To answer some other questions from Bruce, the reason I didn't setup a "Record All" is because SciFi also plays the "old" BattleStar Gallactica shows which I don't want recorded. As such, I figured the record weekly
Ah, so that's the distinction you should make rather than the timeslot...
route would be the way to go since it pinpoints a specific time-slot in which I know the new series is being shown. I have read the Myth docs on this topic, but when it discusses recording priorities it's within the context of conflicts, which is why I raised this question as there really was no conflict happening here.
Sorry I didn't specify that the relevant info that I had in mind and that Brad referred to is the section on "Scheduling decisions" and how it may choose a showing for one rule over a showing that is a match for another rule. So, if you want to record any episodes from the new series and not the old, here is what you can do. MythTV has a feature call Custom Record to create kPowerSearch rules that allow you to specify any criteria to match showings. You want to match just episodes from the new series. See: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.8 Set the rule name to "Battlestar Galactica", cut'n'paste this into the text box: program.seriesid = "SH710749" "Test" to be sure, then click "Record" and choose "Record at any time on any channel". This rule will only match shows from the new series and not the old series from the '70s. If you've been keeping up with the series and only want the new episodes within two weeks of when they are first shown, then: program.seriesid = "SH710749" AND program.previouslyshown = 0 As I test this now, I get matches for three showings of "Final Cut" this week and three showings of "Flight of the Phoenix" next week with no episodes of the old series or re-runs from the new series. -- bjm
