Yes, the rule is to record daily at this time. I would wish Mythtv would 
be more tolerant to such divergences. The title of the programme is the 
same. And I set the options so that the recordings starts 5 minutes 
earlier and stops 10 minutes later. This should always match.

Okay, I tried it with taff. I switched to „record all on this channel” 
and all taff shows are shown. Sadly the description is the same for all 
episodes (at least today), so the recurrence check deactivates all 
recordings. Besides that I have now the nocturnal shows in the recording 
list as well which is annoying because the backend isn’t running at 
night.

 From my point of view I don’t like this. What I’m missing is the ability 
to look for programmes in the programming guide and use the data for 
manual recordings without switching menus. But thanks for your help.
