So, without reading this thread again, the programme plays once per
day, close to the same time, but the start time is not absolutely
constant.

You may be able to do this with a custom recording rule, in fact I am
almost certain that you can put almost any valid SQL query in there,
like "starts anytime between 0900 and 0930" - but I have never played
a lot with that aspect of mythtv.

So would "Find and record one showing of this title each day." meet your needs?
