yourself this must require a Custom Record rule which is not<br> correct and counterproductive in this case. The interval for<br> the day or week is based on the timeslot of the showing that<br> was chosen when the rule was created. For a search rule, you<br>
are not focused on a specific showing so it defaults to 12am.<br> <br> Remove your current rule then find your show in the listings.<br> Pick a 4:00pm showing on any date. Press "I"nfo to see the<br> recording options and set a new rule to "Record one showing<br>
of this title every day" Set any other options you'd like then<br> "[Save these settings]".<br> <br> When you enter the options page again, at the top you will see:<br> <br> Whatever Title<br> (4:00 pm or later)<br>
Airdate: ...<br> <br> This rule will then record the earliest available of any one<br> showing of "Whatever Title" that starts at any time from 4pm<br> today up to 3:59 tomorrow. It would also record one from 4pm<br>
tomorrow through3:59 the next day, if any, and so on.<br> <br> > Any ideas/pointers/etc ?<br> <br> <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html#ss12.1">http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html#ss12.1</a><br>
<br> -- bjm</blockquote><div><br><br>Thanks Bruce !! <br></div><br><div>I did read the FAQ etc. But that 4pm start time (instead of default 12:00am) threw me off. I didn't see anywhere that you can change the default starting time and it was not intuitive(at least not to me).<br>
<br>Will try it out.<br><br>Mudit<br><br><br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> _______________________________________________<br>
