In other words, if you schedule a recording of "The Simpsons" every day
from 7:00 to 7:30, but your FOX affiliate only shows the Simpsons Monday
- Friday, whatever's showing on Saturday and Sunday won't be a
match--it's not "The Simpsons." However, if for some reason they air
the Simpsons on Saturday, you'll get it. As a matter of fact, why not
just record it at any time. That way, Myth will record "The Simpsons"
whenever it airs, and by choosing an appropriate duplicate check method,
you'll get one copy of each episode.
