Recording a Particular Time Every Day

[bill2009]

The CBC National News is on multiple times on multiple channels every night and they all seem to be marked "New" in the guide.  I would like to record it a 9pm on channel 26 so we can watch it at our convenience - usually a bit before or after 10:00 pm. I don't see a way to do that.

I tried recording every episode and keeping 2 episodes but at 10:05 pm it was recording the 10:00pm version and the 9:00pm version was not available.

Am I missing something?

Since you posted in the TV section, I assume you're not on IgniteTV.  Find the programme in the guide, select it and then select "This Timeslot Only" option when setting up a series recording instead of any time.

ah no, we've just moved to ignite.  Thanks, I'm in the wrong forum I guess.  We had been doing "this timeslot only" up til now but i don't see that option on ignite.

I see that this thread has been moved to the IgniteTV forum.  Let's hope someone can help you with your situation, but I believe this has come up before and there is no timeslot option.  I don't believe there is a workaround other than to try "new", which doesn't seem to work properly for some news programming which airs several times a day and is labelled "new" each time.  I believe something similar happens on CTV and possibly other channels/programming.  I suppose you could do single recordings?

I don't know of any equivalent to record "this timeslot" of a recurring show with Ignite TV.  I just go the timeslot for the desired program in the Guide, record the single episode, then press Fast Forward to advance one day, record that, and so on.
