Nothing in Previously recorded w/ Nikita or the custom rules that didn't fire :-(
And I deleted the custom rules already because I thought they didn't work :-(
Only rules that seemed to have worked are the ones that I did the below on because we happened to be watching them the day before we left...choosing an episode and saying "record weekly" works fine.

Because OTA TV listings only seem to show up for roughly 24 hrs in advance.

LOL.  Didn't realize that was illegal.  Thought it was the same as videotaping a TV show w/ retro video tape :-P
