As already said - the NEW flag is nothing to do with the recording logic. If you TiVo has already record that episode then the recording logic is it is NOT NEW.
I had a problem with two programmes after Stephen Hawking died. Because the EPG isn't dynamic, TiVo thought that it had recorded them after they were replaced with a two hour tribute programme.

They were actually shown the week after, so I manually set them to record as, presumably, the TiVo would think that they were duplicates.

My upstairs box was recording it as expected.

I deleted the recording (which interestingly said it was recording, despite not doing so) and reset it - then it started recording ok.

Anyone got any thoughts?
I've twice come across a programme that should be recording and displayed in 'Recordings.

I assumed that it had failed and tried to set them to record manually from the EPG, but the EPG said that they were already being recorded!?

I corrected this by stopping the recording and immediately starting it again; both 'halves' of the recording were then displayed in 'Recordings'.

It seems that recordings are occasionally not being displayed; what would happen if the programme was allowed to record in full I don't know.

I was once looking for a recording that I definitely knew I had and couldn't find it. Thinking I had imagined it, it then reappeared later in the list a few days later when I had to do a reboot. I suspect that this is what would happen to these recordings too.
