The rules after the upgrade from .26 to master were 'ok'. however, when I went to look at them, and exit out of that, the rules were 'messed up' such that one was no longer functional, and the other took over for both.

This is bad because the rule that took over for both was the rule that had the restriction on the number of episodes.

For new rules, I don't see how to be able to record from a given channel in the rules even though there is a select channel button in the setup, there is nowhere to tell it what channel to use.

Doing a custom rule is more 'programming' than I would like to do for something that was a simple rule in .26 and prior versions.

Thanks!
