Is it possible to have two season passes? I want to have one that only records First Runs of a show and Keep All... Then I want one that record First Run and Repeats...and set it to Keep 10 or Keep 25.... so some marathon wont choke the drive full.

Also, if all my SP's are set to "Keep Until I delete" and the drive is full and it is time to record another show, what will happen? (This assumes deleted and suggestion folders are empty).

Will nothing new record... or will it still delete oldest show in order to record the new one?

Final SP question... what is the difference between First and Repeats and All Duplicates. Sounds the same to me.

Yes, I looked at the FAQ and searched threads didn't see these questions answered. Sorry if they were.

You can create a season pass and a auto record wishlist to create the functionality you want.

Not on the same channel.
But there is a work-around. If you use an auto-recording wishlist for the first run only, and a season pass for the rerun channel of your choice you can go ahead and set separate options on them.
(Or if you prefer to get reruns from any channel use the wishlist for reruns and the SP for first run)

Also, if all my SP's are set to "Keep Until I delete" and the drive is full and it is time to record another show, what will happen? (This assumes deleted and suggestion folders are empty).Nothing new will record.

First Run are shows that are airing within 28 days of their Original Air Date (as shown in their guide data).

Repeats are shows that aren't First Run, but which haven't been recorded within the last 28 days [aka 28 day rule]. (Also, even if it has been more than 28 days, if the recording is still in your Now Playing list then any airings would not be considered Repeats, but rather Duplicates)

Duplicates are shows that have been recorded already within 28 days or which are already in your Now Playing List.
