Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Does that mean if you set your default to new only and there is a repeat program series that you haven’t seen and would like to record. It would not record, or just would it not record a repeat of the repeat if you know what I mean.

It won't record it.
It will only record repeats of repeats if you set it to "Everything".

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Thanks Spiderplant, but I think you may have misunderstood me. Will it record that instance of the repeated series if I set it to record, but not any future repeats, or will it not record at all.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Whichever setting you use it will only ever record one of any given episode within 28 days; unless you set it to "Everything" in which case that's exactly what you get

Oh, I see what you mean. If you set a one-off recording of an episode, it will record that episode. But if you set a "New only" series link on a repeat series it won't record anything.

Perhaps thats how it is meant to work.We have recorded two repeats the same episodes on consecutive days,recording set to new only ( It was ITV4)

It is. But no tech. is perfect. Especially that which requires human involvement in its use  
Incidentally, mine recorded both the afternoon and early evening episodes of "Neighbours" on 5HD yesterday. Never done that before; and I didn't notice it in 'upcoming recordings' either

Perhaps the second one was a suggestion I have had that happen once or twice.

As no human was involved in the choice of programme to be recorded.
I guess its a glitch in how ITV "present" it. Set to record new only, not on any other list. Yet this particular episode has appeared 3 times that we recall.

Nope. I don't have them set to record.

I was referring to the meta-data. Under normal circumstances, the same ep is recorded only once every 28 days. Therefore something must have been wrong with the data for the same ep to be recorded twice in 28 days.
Which is also why I gave the example I did; to prove the point

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
I have noticed that the Sky box turns/search the channels over a lot quicker than the tivo.
