Bad Guide Data = Down on the SP List

Posted by: Idearat

I'm here working on my season pass list tonight, adding in some of the new shows, sorting the season passes, removing old things.

One thing I found myself doing on some of the shows is moving the stuff with consistently bad guide data way down to the bottom of the list. With no network shows over the summer I was content to record and cull later. But with more new shows on I don't want the 4th copy of the same show with poor guide data to bump something good off.

TechLive on TechTV: I'd love to record it once a day, but bad guide data won't let it. I could do a manual recording, but want the flexibility if some good old movie shows up on AMC or TCM. Bottom of the SP list.

Dinner for 5 on IFC: Good show, non-existant guide data. When it's not repeated I'd prefer it over some other shows on my list, but don't to bump something for another lame repeat.

Thunderbirds: Was excited when this came to TechTV, but no guide data, multiple showings per day and endless repeats before showing the entire series bumped it to the bottom. This is really sad since they are all 2-parters so the chances of catching both parts is now reduced.

With bad guide data I find I'm now ranking the shows based on the worst of them ( multiple repeats a day ), rather than by how much I like them. Shows I like are now just a hair above suggestions.
