I've not got to the point of completely trusting the 'new' setting, so for nearly all* my shows I use new & reruns.

If the 'new' tag gets left of the EPG data, the show won't record. The downside is that by using new & reruns, you may have to delete some shows that it's recorded that you've already seen.

In fairness, I think the EPG has got a lot better than it was a year ago when I first got Tivo, and there's not as much risk of a new episode not recording these days as there used to be, but I err on the cautious side.

* If I'm not that fussed if I do miss a new episode, then I will use 'new'. For example Law and Order SVU on Universal, where there isn't an ongoing storyline, so it's not a biggie if you miss one episode, and to not use new would give you lots of deleting of old episodes.
