I have been unsuccessful in getting proper season pass for Chicago Cubs games. I have the HR10-250 (HD DirecTivo). Cubs games are primarily broadcast on WGN, but sometimes on ESPN, Comcast Sports Channel, etc. If I highlight a game (Astros @ Cubs, for example) on WGN and get a season pass it will only record games between the Astros and Cubs on WGN. If I set up a Wishlist with the words "Chicago Cubs" and set to auto-record wishlist programs, it will find all Cubs games across all channels, but will not automatically record them.
The problem seems to be in the Repeats & first run / First run only / All (with duplicates) option. I only want to record the live games, so i choose First run only, but that doesn't work. If I choose Repeats & first run, that doesn't work. It only seems to record the games if I choose All (with duplicates), which gives me a whole lot more than I'm looking for, tries to record the live games, repeats, pre and post shows, everything. That, of course, starts interferring with all my other season pass scheduled recordings.
All I would like to do is record Chicago Cubs live games on the various channels they appear on. Is there a way to do that? If so, I'm obviously going about it the wrong way. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
