Maybe I missed it in the config and operation, but it would be pretty cool if you could make the seasonal recording range a variable for user customization. ie, I want to tape a half hour show every sunday on channel X at 9pm, but channel X runs this show like 10 times more during the week. Setting the seasonal recording option records all instances of this show from 8pm-10pm on channel X. I'd like to be able to customize the seasonal recordings timeframe to say "Only record show on <DAY> from <START> to <STOP> on <CHANNEL>." where <DAY>/<START>/<STOP>/<CHANNEL> are determined by the first recording of the show.

I understand the need to introduce a wider timeframe in case of schedule changes, and on network TV this is probably a good thing, but on pay cable channels where they rerun the same show multiple times during the week, this is not needed. It just records the same episode over and over.

check out the cdk scheduler. It allows you to specify date ranges, time ranges etc...

In config.xml you can lower the timeframe window from 120 to whatever you like. It will at least reduce the number of recordings you get...

Actually, it will record every instance of this show with a starting time from 7pm to 11pm. Since I wasn't very verbose in my previous post, I'll give it another shot :-) The tag in config.xml you need to change from 120 is called AllowableTimeslotVariance. If you set it to 60 it will record anything from 8pm to 10pm, and if set to 0, the show must start exactly the same time (9pm) every night in order to get recorded. You will have to delete the scheduling and redo it for it to work, though :-)
