Season Pass at Re-Broadcast Time

[baconrh]

Is there a way to place a program on Season Pass at a regular re-broadcast time only, not at the original braodcast time?

A favorite program airs adjacent to another of my season broadcast programs. It is re-broadcast at another time. I want a season pass at the re-broadcast time.

How can I do this?

The program with the higher priority (higher in the SP list) will record first (when they're both on), and the other program will record on its rebroadcast. Set up the order of the SPs accordingly.

The TiVo also will usually not record an episode if the same episode had been recorded in the last 28 days. This will help if both shows rebroadcast at the same time - the higher priority show will record on the first airing and the lower one on the second airing (if the second airing is within 28 days of the first).

Another trick is to set the higher priority show to "first run only" and the other to "first run and repeats." But if an even higher priority show pre-empts the "first run only" show I don't think it will get picked up the next time.
