Thanks Karl & Michael, finally figured it out. Select "Record Every Day" 
but put in a date as you said to select either week days or weekends. 
That text is *not* clear. Easiest route is to do M-F and just delete the 
Friday recording.

I have no idea what's going on with Comcast. They *were* showing the 
current Daily Show at 8:00 PM on the West Coast. Suddenly stopped. Bunch 
of other programs moved around. Did an exchange with Robert Kulagowski 
at Schedules Direct and he has no idea what's going on. Did the whole 
re-add lineup thing. Found some other channels that needed new XMLTVID 
updates but not Comedy Central.

I guess SD will eventually sync-up with Comcast.

Thanks for the help.
