If you are using any times in your recording rules, then you are working around a broken tv guide. Please consider investing all the<br>
time you are investing in discussing how great local time would be into<br>
fixing your guide feed instead.<br></blockquote></div><br><br>LOL. Why don't you just pull off this feat of magic for me, because here's my particular case:<br><br>Discovery channel has a series called curiosity. It's basically a series of shows on various topics that are all different but have a similar style to them. Now, on their website, all of these different shows are all considered part of the curiosity series. And in their TV commercials they refer to all of these shows as part of the curiosity series. And when the show starts they introduce it as part of the curiosity series. However, in the guide data, after the first half dozen or so episodes aired they stopped labelling the shows as curiosity. As far as the guide data is concerned, they are just a bunch of totally unrelated specials.<br>
<br>So I contact schedules direct to report this problem, they contact tribune to report the problem, tribune contacts Discovery to investigate, and Discovery says "nope, that guide data is correct". Tribune says "sorry, nothing we can do if Discovery insists that is correct". SD asked Tribune to attempt to get Discovery to change their mind and label it appropriately. That was over a year ago, and the show is still titled incorrectly. And I'm not the only one to report this. TiVo customers have complained about the same issue, to no result.<br>
<br>So please tell me how you believe I should invest my time into fixing this instead of just creating a damn rule that records any show in genre "special" on the appropriate channels at the appropriate times?<br>
