[mythtv-users] rankings question/problem

[Thorsten Scheuermann]

Replying to myself here... I realized that Family Guy does get recorded on 
another channel (the exact same episode that gets ignored the day before in 
favor of Simpsons). Can anyone confirm that MythTV has the smarts to detect 
that it can record a particular episode at a timeslot that doesn't have a 
conflict? That would be sooooo slick! I'm impressed...
