Thanks Nick, that almost perfectly sorts out my problem, I have updated it
for BBC Two. There is one last thing I can't get my head around now.
We wanted to test record 'Life of Riley'. This is broadcast on BBC 1 and BBC
HD, but I cannot make the same change as above, as BBC HD is differently
scheduled to BBC 1.
So I have a rule,
Record 'Life of Riley' , at any time on any channel. Duplicate check method
Subtitle. Check for duplicates in All recordings.
On BBC HD (and BBC Oxford, BBC blah blah blah) the subtitle is "Beating the
Bully" for all the satellite channels, and quite rightly, the system has
chosen to record on my (priority+1) BBC HD channel, and mark the other
recordings as recorded.
For BBC One, the subtitle is "Beating the Bully", but instead of being
ignored like the satellite copies, it is being recorded.
Is this something I just have to put up with, or is there another trick I
have missed?
There is one difference. The satellite channels are marked: Programme ID:
/15CK1A , whereas the DVB-T is marked fp.bbc.co.uk/15CK1A
Thanks again.
