Yes and a few other shows more recently Mclouds are showing previous

<br>Between 8 and 10pm:<br><br>program.title = "Program Title" and <br>hour(program.starttime) >= 20 and <br>hour(program.starttime) <= 22<br><br>On Tuesday:<br><br>program.title = "Program Title" and
<br>date_format(program.starttime, "%W") = "Tuesday"<br><br>TBH, I find I use power searches quite often (in my case, I'd call it a killer feature). In particular, I have a number of shows where I want to say "record at any time on any channel *except* these channels ...", to give the scheduler maximum flexibility while avoiding re-runs (eg, CSI + Spike). Or, in the case of BSG, Space airs the original series and the new series, with identical show titles, forcing me to do a time-slot based schedule, which breaks if the show moves around. But a power search lets me search by seriesid, which solves that problem.
