[mythtv-users] setup for channels that are not 24/7

I could give you an exact answer. I'm sure you know what you're
seeing but on several attempts, I can't parse your message.

- Bravo is on 61. 24hrs or not?
- Hallmark is on ch??. 24hrs or not?
- Is "until 5:30PM" the end of Hallmark? The last possible TWW
starttime (5:30-630)? Or, the last possible endtime (4:30-5:30)?
- "Usually TWW is shown at 5 & 6PM" on Bravo or Hallmark?
- "but have this channel" Bravo or Hallmark?

The better question is which showing are you trying to avoid recording
and why? An All rule would record any episode but your next to last
sentence says that for one of these channels, you don't want to record
before 6PM. If it is that channel that ends at 5:30 (or has a last
showing at 5:30?) then why do you need to go out of your way to say
to record when it isn't listed or shown? Why not have a Channel rule
for Bravo only If you don't want any Hallmark showings?
