"Advanced" timer programming is the domain of Master-Timer. http://mt.citd.de One of it's many feature is to restrict timers to specific weekdays. Or, if the EPG-Data is good(tm) (meanes: has a meaningful subtitle, i.o.w. the title of the episode), Master-Timers "done"-feature removes any (Master-Timer-)timers that entered the "done"-list which are still programmed in VDR the next time master-timer is started. This makes sure that a specific episode is never recorded again(*). Great to record whole series, without recording an episode twice(*2), or recording the rerun if the first attempt failed. :-) I've recorded about 5 thousand(!) series and movies in 4 years. Workes great as long as the EPG-(or secondary-source-)data is good. :-) (Btw. I'd say that i'm a "heavy user". Converted into autotimers i would currently have about 450 autotimers). *: As long as the EPG-Data of immediate or later(i mean much later, like month/years later when the whole series reruns) reruns match with the already recorded one, if the EPG-data is garbage there is nothing Master-Timer could do. *2: Personally i've only encountered a single series which has the same episode-title for 2 different episodes, luckily i realised that in time to remove the entry from the done-file. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
