Ahhh, totally forgot about trying a custom schedule. Thanks Bruce, that should work great!<br>

<br><br>Yes, correct.<br><br>> To answer some other questions from Bruce, the reason I didn't setup a<br>> "Record All" is because SciFi also plays the "old" BattleStar Gallactica<br>> shows which I don't want recorded. As such, I figured the record weekly
<br><br>Ah, so that's the distinction you should make rather than the timeslot...<br><br>> route would be the way to go since it pinpoints a specific time-slot in<br>> which I know the new series is being shown. I have read the Myth docs

<br>and that Brad referred to is the section on "Scheduling decisions"<br>and how it may choose a showing for one rule over a showing that<br>is a match for another rule.<br><br>So, if you want to record any episodes from the new series and not
<br>the old, here is what you can do. MythTV has a feature call Custom<br>Record to create kPowerSearch rules that allow you to specify any<br>criteria to match showings. You want to match just episodes from the<br>new series. See:
<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.8">http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.8</a><br><br>Set the rule name to "Battlestar Galactica", cut'n'paste this into the<br>text box:
<br><br>program.seriesid = "SH710749"<br><br>"Test" to be sure, then click "Record" and choose "Record at any time<br>on any channel". This rule will only match shows from the new series
<br>and not the old series from the '70s.<br><br>If you've been keeping up with the series and only want the new<br>episodes within two weeks of when they are first shown, then:<br><br>program.seriesid = "SH710749"
<br>AND program.previouslyshown = 0<br><br>As I test this now, I get matches for three showings of "Final Cut"<br>this week and three showings of "Flight of the Phoenix" next week<br>with no episodes of the old series or re-runs from the new series.
