I've got a wishlist item for the new auto-search auto-record facility ....

Now that Auto-record is a winner (THANK YOU UJB, AWESOMENESS) having a day search would allow you to autosearch for shows between a certain time range on a certain day, so that repeats were avoided.

e.g. lets say you knew that the live showing was every Monday and the repeats later in the week at the same time (or even different times), then having Monday as a filter means the date doesn't throw the auto-record and you don't get two shows at identical time ranges...

What is auto record? Does it let you set up a search that will be repeated until the show is found and then records it? That would be great.

It will set a single recording for any programme that is found based off of the search criteria entered. It will continue to set recordings for matching programmes until you turn off the auto record flag for the search.

So say there is some movie that I want to record that isn't currently in the program guide. I set up an auto record. If that movie ever shows up in the guide will auto record catch it and set a recording?

Looking forward to trying this. I like recording music shows (especially stuff like BBC Sessions and Old Grey Whistle Test Stuff) which tend not to have regular channel/time slots - This looks ideal...

Could I make another one of those trivial UI type suggestions... you could make the appearance of your footer frame more consistent across a wider range of browser window widths if you aligned the copyright and links section to the top left of the frame and moved the colour legend section underneath it. This would reduce the chance of the footer frame needing a vertical scroll bar. And unless there is some technical reason for having the Statistics button in the footer, I would move it back to be a tab next to the Config tab.

I can tell you this is just an AWESOME addition that I have been drooling over getting for a couple of years (almost) .. :-)

Yes....exactly.....

Suggestions are always welcome!

The statistics link is at the bottom because at the top it would cause the screen to scroll at 800x600.

That said....It looks fine at 1024x768. According to Browser News 1024x768 is now used by approx. 82% of users. So I could adjust my thought on this and move it back to the top.

Thks for that - afraid I just assumed most people were using at least 1024x768 - I hadn't taken the time to research it like you have.
