I've read different flavors of trying to solve the problem of getting multiple recordings of the same episode when recording a season. I understand the need to have the additional hours in the recording window for delays in a schedule. Thats good stuff!!! I think this problem if possible needs to be handled in a different way. Possibly through meta data in the show listings. By comparing the name of the show and the title you can eliminate duplicates. Some of this has to already be going on since it doesn't record an addition 120 minutes on both sides of an hour show. It must be looking at titles to decern what in that 120 minute window to record. Now I don't know how some shows on cable that dont have episode names will work out such as World Series of Poker and some Reality stuff that just go by Show names. There has to be a good way to do this though because its done in other PVR's. Props to the sub though. Hopefully he understands that we are just trying to help make a good product.
