Note that if you created the rule for the Saturday show with an episode 
that started at 4:01pm and the current week's episode starts at 4:00pm, 
then the Monday episode would be the first episode of the week (because 
your week starts at 4:01pm).  Similarly, since you're using EIT and some 
EIT listings do such, if you created a rule for an episode that started 
at 4:00:01 and this week's episode starts at 4:00:00, then it's not in 
the new week.

This is yet one more reason why the "find weekly" rules aren't 
ideal--because even slight schedule changes can have unexpected 
results.  So if your listings force you to use them, you may need to 
work around listings/schedule issues.  IIRC, you can edit the start time 
for find weekly recordings in MythWeb's schedule editor.  (Or is that 
only for manual rules?  I may be completely mistaken as I've never 
created or used a find weekly/daily rule.)
