It's one of those things like "Don't start a new topic by replying to an 
existing one" or "Don't send HTML to the list." that folks should be 
aware of. 

As for your problem, it's possible that the show you're trying to set to 
new episodes only doesn't have the proper information (i.e. no 
previously shown flag, no original air date).  The system doesn't look 
to see if the show you're working with has repeats or not, just if you 
have ANY repeats.   In the case where a show is set to kDupCheckNewEpi 
and isn't marked as a repeat it should fall back on kDupCheckSubDesc. 
though that behavior may go away as it's a potential problem area.

 From what you've said though it sounds like your recording rule isn't 
being saved since kDupCheckNewEpi is 8 not 6 which is why I asked if you 
were saving it or not.  Perhaps you're having issues with the way the 
new advanced screen works and haven't gotten it saved?
