I don't watch the Tudors, but my wife does.  The show starts up again on 
3/30.  When I went to double check to make sure that my recording rule 
was going to pick it up correctly, it wasn't.  I tracked down the 
problem to incorrect episode IDs in the guide data.  Since I had 
duplicate checking turned on (which you pretty much have to, unless you 
are doing a timeslot rule, since they rerun constantly), and this was 
schedule data from Schedules Direct, and these episodes IDs were wrong, 
it was choosing to re-record a re-run (the one on at 8PM) and not record 
the new episode (the one on at 9PM).  I'm not sure if this is just me in 
my lineup, but I would tend to doubt it.  I have submitted a ticket at 
Schedules Direct, so hopefully it will be fixed, but just wanted to let 
people know.  I've scheduled overrides until the problem is corrected.
