NER: Those with TiVo, please come in

Does anyone know how to set the season pass (or other) recording device within TiVo to record only the original/new shows and not the 10,000 repeats that play during the week?

Basically the repeats are precluding the recording of other, original shows.  So, for example, I got yet more reruns of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report today instead of the Sunday morning talk shows. Angry

I've tried increasing the "thumbs up" on the shows I want, but they continue to be recorded over by repeats.

Any suggestions?

  • If you solve this mystery, I would love to know how.  I go back and forth between manually setting each show, then getting annoyed at myself for forgetting one, then switching to cleaning out my DVR every day until I get sick of that, and the cycle begins anew.

    But I always put shows that don't have reruns higher in my priority list.  I know Meet the Press only airs once or twice on Sundays and won't conflict with anything, so I put it at the top of my list.

  • It's in the season pass options - when you set the pass, change the recording options from "First Run and Repeats" to "First Run only"?

  • Ditto yeah4me, except it doesn't seem to work for The Daily Show. I don't know why, but my Tivo can't distinguish original episodes for that particular show. You can aso go into your "To Do" list and manually delete individual episodes from being recorded.

  • I wonder if it's possible to set up a recurring date/time recording: rather than having a season pass at all for Daily Show, just set Tivo to always record Comedy Central from 11-11:30 on weeknights? ?I know you can do a date/time recording--I'm not sure if you can have it recurring.

  • Yeah; you have to go to your season pass settings and set it to record "first run only" as opposed to "all episodes." If you can figure out how to make this work for the Daily Show, let me know, b/c despite setting up Daily Show to "first run" it records them all.
  • Hmm, sounds as though there is something nefarious going on with TDS. Smile 

    Thanks for the suggestions!
