when to worry that favorites aren't in recording schedule

[stevech]

two favorites (1st and reruns, any channel) are not appearing in the Recording Schedule listing. In the Guide, they are highlighted with the white outline as a favorite. These air daily.

I manually recorded these this week.
As of today (Fri) the Mon-Fri airings are *not* in the Recording Schedule.

When should they appear?

By default, I believe that SageTV schedules 72 hours ahead. All manual recordings and maybe airings that resolve scheduling conflicts are also listed.

I'm well inside the 72 hr window and two favorites are not in the recording schedule. Others are, and were so well before 72 hours.

Is is possible that if I chose to manually record a show that is in my favorites then no longer manually record it, that its presence in my favorites is ignored from then on?

There is a FAQ entry for Why isn't my Favorite set to record?

Thanks, but I've used Sage long enough to have learned and read that FAQ several times.

I'm in an assume-the-best mode.
I'll wait and see if it *does* schedule my favorites at about the t-48 hour point, since it didn't do so at about t-72 as was suggested earlier in this thread.

I wonder if Sage doesn't adjust the recording schedule until AFTER a new EPG download (daily). If so, this might account for the 48 vs 72 hr difference. A cure would be to move the EPG download to early in the AM local time.

Sorry if I seem anal about this, but the WAF is at stake - due to historical missing of shows.
