Why didn't my favorite record?

Is there any way to make sage not try and be so helpful and record both shows?

mmmm, don't think so. Do you have Intelligent Recording on? I don't think that pertains to it, but it could reduce the frequency of that happening.

You could get two tuners.

You could not do favorites, and only do manual recordings.

I don't think this has ever been requested before. It has always been a feature. The new STVs allow you to restrict favorites to timeslots. This should completely resolve your problems.

which STV's support time slot? and are the compatable with latest beta?

[Crashless]

The only fully compliant 2.1 stv is the original one. I rolled back to 2.0 after I had problems with running it as a service, so I didn't get to tinker much. I don't use timeslot favorites either, so someone else will have to chime in here. Sorry.

MalDude2 is based on 2.1 and has a (not fully tested) timeslot addition. However, it was based on the 2.1.7 RC4 beta. It has not been updated for 2.1.8 RC5 yet -- the timeslot feature should work & then you could return to testing the 2.1.8 OriginalV2.STV while keeping the timeslot setting for that fav.

You don't have to run Sage as a service. You can disable the service in 2.1 and run Sage like you did in 2.0.

I know, but I also lost the UI on my 350 and couldn't get it back. Reinstalled 2.0 and it worked. It was probably a driver problem, but after I got it working I told myself to wait for the gold release. I my system as a whole is unstable enough as it is, I don't need the help of a beta to crash things, I can do that on my own.

Can't wait for it to go gold.

You could consider a favorite option "Force first-run labelled airings to be considered re-runs when they occur after the very first airing." aka "Force non-first airings as ReRuns"

Why would it not be by default? I don't understand. Either the show is a "first airing" or it isn't. What gives?

Can I do a search for say ALL movies "first aired" in 2005? Or all kids shows "first aired" in 2005?
