We /also/ have other channels like Dave, Yesterday, etc which show recycled programs from the main group of BBC/ITV/Cannel4/Channel5.<br>

When programs pop up on these other channels, they may not be marked as repeat (or as recently, "rerun") and may have different program ids as well.<br>
<br>
My rules list is cluttered with exceptions where I've had to remove extraneous showings of series from two seasons back.<br>
<br>
Sometimes, 'On this channel' (or perhaps, 'On this group of channels?') is what we need to filter out the repeats.<br>
<br>

I've deleted Dave and the rest from my list. The one program a year I might have wanted to watch that I now miss is more than made up for by the effort saved in no longer having to delete those old episodes.<br>
<br>
I also have deleted all the +1 channels too. However I have only freeview and three dual tuners so conflicts aren't an issue for me. I can see that if you have fewer tuners or more channels you would need to keep them.<br>
<br>
After retunes I make sure that the seven or eight channels I care about retain their chanid. If I cared about more than that I would use an sql list to maintain them for me.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br></div></div>

I could see the value of an "enable scheduler" flag for channels... so we could simply tell the scheduler to ignore a given channel on a scheduling run... however a "record this showing" would still work, and you could still tune it in livetv, and optionally record while you watch. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Would be handy to be able to exclude channels from searching too... I hate running a "new series" search and seeing a ton of crap from channels I will never record but may tune to occasionally (shopping, community access, local government, etc).</div>
