[mythtv-users] Command Line Control

[Chris Lewis]

Isn't the whole point of MythTV that you are not limited by what time
things are broadcast?  Simply record the film and the news and watch one
after the other,  Is it that important that the news is watched at 9:30?

Simply record the news every night and set the max episodes to 2 or 3 and
watch at your leisure when the movie has finished :)
