[mythtv-users] How to make "Record this program in This Timeslot every ..." more tolerant to late arrival EPG changes ?

>From your description, it sounds to me like the only way it's going to
work is to make a custom rule. If you use the frontend to create a
custom recording rule, the examples you need are there. I built the
following query from the exact-title and only-during-primetime
examples:

program.title = 'Nova' AND HOUR(program.starttime) >= 19
AND HOUR(program.starttime) < 23
