Stephen thanks.
I’ve a few power rules so my understanding bit is ok.

What would be ideal is record XXX+15 min but it seems the scheduler wont do that.

ie News then News again with identical Name and subtitle (but they are NOT identical) means the schduler records XXX with no extention and I can’t think of a sql way of doing that.

So a rule that says record AAA then BBB without pause.
It seems a manual rule handles that case best.

(Worse I’m sure their *experiment* will fail and be ditched in a month or so, so brain surgery for a weeks solution seems dumb.)
Any Aus viewers affected by Ten’a experiment, a manual rule seems easy.
