Best way to record Sportscenter?

your best bet is to buy another TiVo and dedicated it strickly to sportscenter.

 

I record 6-7:30 every morning, keeping one episode. It's not a drama that must be watched from the beginning, and so I don't care about the recording of the Sunday night/Monday morning edition "starting" with the last half-hour. I don't watch every morning, though. I watch if there are highlights or features I want to see, but sometimes I don't hear about those until later in the day.

 

I have a manual recording scheduled at 6am to 7am every morning and only keep one episode.

Goofy!

 

I think Sunday night/Monday Morning SportCenter's are 1 hour and 30 minutes. So you would need more than one manual recording setup. You could setup a recording that is every day, then one that is only monday. Then set the second one with the higher priority. Also, if you have a dual tuner, this would still record the first one which you would have to delete.

 

Using that tatic won't it only record the first SC encountered and only record another one after you delete that first one?

 

I have a manual recording of SC for 5:00 am to 6:00 am. Occasionaly I have to sit through the first half fisrt and the second half second. I have not noticed it that much though

 

No, only if you set it to keep until I delete would it require you to delete it.

 

Isn't that what the OP mentioned or am I just going crazy?

 

This is exactly what I do. I have one that records from 4 am - 5 am every morning and then another one that records for 90 minutes on Monday mornings that supercedes the first one. Works very well, although depending on the time of year, the Monday morning recording doesn't always start at the beginning, but using skip to tick it's easy to find the beginning, watch from there, and then go back to the beginning of the recording when it gets to the end.

 

Yes, that's what the OP said, and you are correct that it won't work if he does that. If he just sets up a standard SP, he has to set it to only keep one episode and to NOT Keep Until I Delete.

 

Ok I feel better. I thought I might have been studying too hard for all my tests this week and I was misreading things. That would be bad as the test tonight requires me to read and comprehend.

 

As to the disadvantage, your tivo is recording something all the time. Put the season pass at the bottom of your list, so if there's anything else going, it won't get recorded.

 

The DVR is always recording something. Regardless, he will always have "one" edition of SC, but it won't be the most recent; it will be the first scheduled edition after he deletes the ep in the NPL.

 

If it's set for KAM=1 & KUID then it will record the next ep available and not record another until you delete that one. If you want the most recent then just set the KAM=1.

 

I do this with the nightly news, and it works fine (I don't have the issue of that running 10 times a day), but basically it keeps each night's news until the following night. I think this should work for the OP, unless he wants to be able to watch yesterday's show late the following day, after it's been replaced.

 

I just do manual recording of sportscenter from 5-6:30 and always get it and don't have to worry about repeats or deleting it or whatever
