Record All Episodes, But Record Rebroadcast Instead?

[ViRGE]

This is an odd recording job that I'm trying to figure out. I want to record something out of the weeknight Adult Swim lineup, but I don't want to record the original broadcast, but instead the rebroadcast AS does 3 hours later. If I try to do a Record All job in BTV, it defaults to the original airing, and requires that I manually set each sub-job to record the rebroadcast instead.

What I'm asking then is this: is there a way to make a Record All job that grabs the rebroadcasts, or am I going to be stuck tinking with manual recordings the whole time? Thanks.

That's a tough one, because it's an odd one, I think. Why would somebody want to do something like that - if he could record the original broadcast. Or is it that you can't? Your posting is not entirely clear to me. Even TiVo can't do that. I don't know which version you're running, and I'm having a hard time remembering pre 3.5 recording habits, right now, but 3.5, I think, will record the next airing, if the original broadcast slot is already taken by something else? Is that what you're looking for? And if there isn't anything, one could put something ..there manually.

I just have a single computer, so I have the BTV software unloaded durring the day so that it isn't eating up memory when I need it for gaming and what-not. Since I'm still usually up when the first airing comes on, I either don't have the software loaded, or I don't want it sucking on the hard drive when I'm trying to get stuff done(mainly games again), and as a result I want to catch the rebroadcast that airs while I'm sleeping.

That said, you're a genius; since I don't have the software loaded, in the first place, it should grab the rebroadcast from when the software is fired up, or at worst case, I can just schedule a conflict, which will never get recorded, but still push BTV to record the rebroadcast. Thanks dude.
