Yes. Also set it to "Keep until: I delete"  (Perhaps you hadn't found that option yet!)
Edited to add:
Hang on.... what you have posted is correct behaviour. So I don't understand the problem. If it's already set to KUID then it shouldn't be recording one every day

Right, what i want it to do though, is to say, record mondays edition, then record tuesday edition over it, etc, etc. This is available on the US tivo. Only keeping one edition at a time, which is an option on the wishlist.
The options available are only, keep till i delete or till space needed though.

There is an option for keeping the amount of episodes though, not sure if it can be set to 1?

Definately Facebook and Picassa as they are being tested. We haven't been told of any other just yet.

Because he only wants the latest. Very useful for news programmes. (But it works for me.)
A possible difference is I use series links, not wishlists. I'm testing it with wishlists now.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Yes, till space needed.
Just a thought though - what symbol is it putting next to the recordings in My Shows? Mine also likes to record news programmes as Suggestions for me, which them get bundled into the same folders.

You sound like you would prefer an old VCR which you could use to "record over" existing episodes.

As do I. Sorry. I assumed the OP was using a SL which should work exactly as described.

It puts the single episode into a folder with a star

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Ok, I've tested Wishlists, and they keep the latest episode correctly too. All I can suggest is you delete and set up your WL/SL again.

A star does mean it was recorded due to a Wishlist.
