'Bushwhacked'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
It's a glitch with the program listings, Stephanie. The listings are all identical, and in those situations where TiVo can't tell, it grabs everything.
Sometimes the listings include the guest name, and then it'll only record it the once. I assume this is because Comedy Central doesn't supply the right listings to whoever TiVo pulls from.
I've not worked out anything other than manually fixing it.
I have to manually fix it. I used to have it record TDS and only keep 1 episode on the Tivo. But I only do that if I can watch the show right away. Which happens never these days.
It seems like they usually have the listings right when it's a week with new shows, but they have the ones with no guest listed when it's a week of reruns. I'm not positive that's what it is, though.

Thanks - this explains some of my confusion. Last week I was getting just a few copies (and I noticed the guest names were included). This week, I've been getting the same episode over and over. It seems like I've been getting the same one 3-4 times a day.
You can set it to manually record the showing you want (ie-record by time/channel rather than going through the To Do list), but that's about it.

Confirming. That's what I do with The Simpsons to make sure I only get the new eps.
ooops wrong place!
Yes, but you posted to the wrong place... using Technology!
Yes, but I had I used my biology a little better, I would have read the thread title before I posted.
Does anyone have any good UML resources?
