[mythtv-users] Fall cable reruns and mythTV

[mons37318 at mypacks.net]

written for a TV site - so replace each instance of "DVR" with "mythTV" and adjust accordingly (I do have a Pilot search, but it onlt catches real first run pilots AFAIK)

----

each fall (and other times during the season) not only do the networks start to air their new "season" but also, I've noticed, the indies and the cable nets start airing "new" reruns of series they have not yet rerun before.

Is there any rhyme or reason (or date) for this or any way to figure out what's out there in rerunland, other that putting random searches in your DVR and waiting...? (which only works if you know what you are looking for)

TVLand is starting something they say caters to people in the 50's and (some other decade) but the only thing that remotely interests me of their new offerings is Scrubs.
FX restarted the Practice recently and SciFi Joan of Arcadia - I found out around episode 4. (Calista Flockhart's Ally crossover set off one of my searches, my roommate watches SciFi a lot, but not enough for me to catch on before ep 4)

DVRing gets rid of a lot of channel surfing, gets rid of a good amount of knowing what cable networks are airing and i prefer not jumping in ep 4 of something i missed (or failed to keep) the first time

thanks for any advice or even guesses
