NEW recordings are based on the air date.
In any case the episode at 9pm on Friday 6th April is a repeat. The episode is actually on for the first time on 5th April.

There seems to be slapdash checking of the information posted in the EPG. I don't know who is responsible for the accuracy of this, Virgin Media or a third party. Looking through my 'planned programmes' folder I found that the final two episodes of the thriller Beneath the Surface - Saturday on BBC 4 - would not have recorded had I not spotted that they are wrongly labeled as episodes 5 and 6. In fact, they are episodes 7 and 8. The previous 6 episodes are already recorded. I had my preferences set as 'new only'. I corrected my preference to 'new and reruns' and set them to record even though my V6 recognized them as repeats. I would have been annoyed if I missed these.
Less critical is that the final episode of the latest series of the X-Files is wrongly labeled as 'new' on Sunday on Channel 5 when it is a repeat that has already been recorded. I don't know what the V6 would do in this kind of situation, record it or ignore it as the repeat it is.
