It does...:) Trust me...:) You can set up the season pass, then go in,
and schedule the 2nd (or 3rd or whatever) showing of the recording, and
it will remove the first one from the ToDo list, as it recognizes it as
failing the 28 day rule.... So it DOES have ALL the info, it just
chooses not to use it for some strange reason..

If you're scheduling at the limit of the 2 weeks, there's a case for
that (maybe).It should do the scheduling the best it can with the data
that it has... Next data download, it should go thru the scheduling
again and make any updates based on the new data that it has.


This would all be good for MythTV too.... It would be really nice to be
able to run the scheduler process automatically after a filldatabase

I guess that might be an intentional 'feature' to make TiVo's behave the
same everywhere. Look, your TiVo needs to know _for sure_ by the data
that
it gets that the next showing is exactly the same show.

I can imagine that this data isn't always available (or as exact) and
that
they left such a thing out to not make users angry. ("Hey, on this
channel
it does this, and there it doesn't, I want it repaired." -or- "WTF? It
recorded the wrong show?")

Just my 2 eurocents.
