Each tv show has a link that when selected will display a list of every episode for the particular show and a status showing if you have a particular episode scheduled for recording or have recorded it in the past.  From the episode listing you can choose to create a tvwish list that will schedule recordings based off of the wish list when they become available.

I wasn't going to put this out because I'm truly a hack when it comes to coding, but i figured someone might find it useful and make improvements to the code.

The main things this feature is good for are the likes of CSI's Simpsons, shows with interminable numbers of episodes many with similar sounding descriptions and repeated very regularly. There has been a lot of discussion recently about changes in EIT handling to add episode numbers and the very recent changes to Radio Times, which they don't seem to have quite recovered from....

Have you tried to look in the DB to see if the episodes that are
repeating have an episode number attached?  I had a problem for a
while where my EIT data wasn't capturing the episode numbers and I had
to do a channel rescan to correct it.
