There are several ways to do this. I used to have it set as a regular
manual recording, record every day starting at 18:00 hours on the
channel, duration 60 minutes. Make sure you set the first day as a
sunday to make it record 7 days a week. Pick a monday as the first day
if you want only weekdays.
This will work, and you will get the same "name" for the recordings
every time. This might be a feature or a bug depending on your
preferences. I have recently switched to a powersearch to get the
different segments in separate recordings (seems dvb recordings spanning
several programmes sometimes are difficult to play back).
