Better "Repeat" Identification
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Ariel817

I have a prioritized season pass, and many of my entries are set to First Run Only -- so if the higher priority entry is in re-runs, it grabs the next one for that time slot.

The problem is, not all program data consistently puts the "R" tag in, and I believe that's what TiVo uses to identify re-runs.

Wouldn't it be nice, if the software also looked at the year, which is always there? If the "R" is not present, just do a second check -- if it's currently 2003, and the year in the description is prior to that, assume it's a rerun and do not record!
