Its nothing whatsoever to do with bugs. Its incorrect data from Tribune.
You could write a masterpiece of a computer programme - but if its relying on accurate data to work properly, and that data is not accurate, guess what? You're screwed and so is your computer programme.
So, you tell TiVO to record new episodes only. Good feature. Good programming. But that's relying on the data being accurate. In the case of Lost Girl,
every episode has been tagged as new and upcoming episodes have no metadata (or that was the case earlier this week). Until that's changed, its going to record
every episode and because there's no metadata, TiVo's "don't record within 28 days" rule will be ignored because it doesn't know what episode of Lost Girl its going to record.
That October code-drop won't solve a thing as far as the EPG issues are concerned. Sure, it may fix bugs and add features, but guess what? Those bug fixes and new features will rely on the EPG data being accurate (regardless of a Dynamic EPG or not).
