Over the past couple months I have started to notice that when I set a series to record on the dvr, and you set it to only record "new episodes" it will record every occurance of that show that day. For instance If i have it set to record "The soup" on E since they play the show several times a day it records each of them.
I understand logically what is happening, the dvr determines when to record a show by looking at the guide's information of new or repeat. However the problem stems from the fact that some shows descriptions don't have the new or repeat indication. And even when they do, it still records the show each time it is on that day.
I have it set to record only new episodes and to keep only one of the episodes, but that doesn't stop it from recording all of them. this certainly didn't used to be a problem, as I said, I started noticing it over the last couple months. At first it was just a minor inconvenience, I figured there was something I was doing in the configuration of the series recording.
However, it becomes a problem when you want to record a particular series during its first airing, say at 8 pm, and you set it up to only record new episodes and to keep only one, but that doesn't stop it from recording it again later that night at 11 pm when it airs again. The problem I have is I already have 2 other shows I am recording at 11pm, so there is a conflict, and it won't let you record one of the shows.
Does that make sense?
I have done some research and it turns out that it all has to do with the guide's database, and Comcast uses TVGuide Iguide.
I am wondering if there are any fixes, or work arounds.
