AIUI this relates to the difference between scheduling an 'every day'
recording on a weekday (Mon - Fri) or at the weekend (Sat - Sun) and
the differing scheduler behaviour.
In the former case, even if a program is broadcast at the same time on
Saturday and Sunday, the scheduler will not schedule these if the
schedule is created Mon-Fri. However, if the schedule is created at
the weekend and the program is broadcast every day at the same time,
it should schedule all of them.
It is possible to create a custom rule if you need to exclude
particular days from the rule, I just think a lot of new users are
worried when a 'record every day' rule doesn't record every day.
If Michael schedules the recordings on a weekday, his desired
behaviour should work out of the box and only Mon-Fri episodes will be
scheduled? Only by creating the schedule on Sat/Sun will he also get
scheduled recordings for the weekend broadcasts.
