I have a series link for Terra Nova and it is set to "New Only" and it just records new episodes. If I look at "My Planned Recordings" and go through what is actually planned to record I do not see any repeats, just the expected once per week recording. I think (not sure about this) if you go into "Recording Hiccups" you will see Tivo looks at other repeat episides but then says it will not record it. A strange way of doing it but end result is you just get new recordings and Terra Nova works fine this way.
In fact I set all new series links to "new only" as the EPG seems reliable on this now. There is the odd series where I am getting repeat recordings but they tend to be on Watch e.g. my son records Ninja Warrior and Total Wipeout USA which have lots of repeats every week and sometimes the EPG data is not good enough for a "New Only" series link to avoid repeat recordings. But apart from those 2, I have a reliable recording schedule based on "New Only" setting for over 40 series links now.
