View Full Version : Wishlist not autorecording when it should

OK, so maybe this is a bug, or maybe it's functionality I don't understand.

I've set up autorecording keyword wishlists for my favorite college teams, and set the categories to Sports/Basketball or Sports/Football and so on. Since I didn't want the myriad of delayed broadcasts, I set the wishlist to "first run" only.

Well, this is not working. If I check to see the upcoming programs, they are listed like they should be, but they aren't selected to be autorecored (the blue star). I then have to select them myself.

There are no conflicts for recording, I checked that. Yes, it's set up to autorecord.

HOWEVER, if I set the wishlist to "first run and repeat," it works better, but still not 100%. Going the next step to "all, including duplicates" works but then I get all sorts of repeats, filling up the disk.

Also odd is that this wasn't an issue a year or more ago. Everything autorecorded just like it should. Then about 18 months ago I noticed that the non-recording.

While I read this board nearly daily and have for years, I don't recall anything like this being brought up. Did I miss something? FYI, I can replicate this on my other DirecTivo as well.


(Don't mind the low post count, I've been a Tivo user since Series 1.)

Just a guess, but maybe live events don't have an "original air date", therefore the "first run" doesn't know it's a first run.
