That's 2 weeks in a row I've had to try and justify TiVo's failure to record the wife's favourite show, and now it failed to record one of my shows (and the backup on alternative channel!)

Ok, first, Antiques Roadshow (happened 2 weeks running):
BBC1 HD - Ch108 - New & Rerun
Show airs on Sundays 8pm. Recording hiccup due to show reshown within 28 days. Instead it recorded previous week's HD show with signing! (person in bottom left screen). No offense to deaf people, but my wife doesn't want to watch the signer and a reduced screensize.

Second failure, Live: MotoGP (prime recording):
BBC2 - Ch102 - New only
Show airs once a week only, no repeats. Recording hiccup due to show reshown within 28 days. This is a lie, it is not re-shown at all, and looking at "upcoming episodes" reveals no shows!

Live: MotoGP (backup recording):
Eurosport2 - New & Rerun
Show airs once a week with repeats title without "Live: " prefix. Recording hiccup due to show reshwon within 28 days. Again, a lie because although it is re-shown, it's a different titled program and therefore when I looked in "upcoming episodes" there were no shows other than the next fixture.

The TiVo suggestion is to record "Everything". Why can't it just have an option to say "Record as soon as possible".

I looked at what conflicts it thought there might be and I could see none in the TV guide. So why it decided to not record and then wait for a later recording... who knows.

The wife said "I want the V+ back", so I have 2 weeks for TiVo to sort itself out or for me to work out the exact magic incantations it requires to record what we want.

As it is, it's just not good enough. I've missed a BBC recording of MotoGP and will not be able to watch that version, instead I'll have to record the repeat on Eurosport with different commentators and format etc. Not what I wanted.
