Never record this particular program.

[hmbphil467]

Is there a way - within the core BTV program itself - to mark a particular title (say one specific episode of a series under which all episodes are otherwise recorded) so that it is never recorded? The only workaround I've used is going into Setup Recordings/Upcoming Recordings/Do Not Record This Episode At This Time; but I have to do so manually and constantly, and it's easy to miss from time to time. I'm looking for a one-time and simple cure all for duplicate recordings. If it doesn't exist, I wonder if others have requested this as a new feature for an upcoming release of BTV.

I did try using an add-on program (mentioned in an earlier thread) to accomplish this task, but I found it difficult to manage. Could easily be user error.

Any help would be appreciated.

There is a way to keep the history by changing it to 0. By doing this you will always have a list and if been recorded before won't record again. I think normally it's set for 30 days or so.

http://localhost:8129/SetupMisc.aspx set Recent Record Days to 0

Increasing the Recent recording list length and adding the episode to it, through "that addon", is basically the way to do it...

The help was very much appreciated.

Pushing beyond my user error isues with regard to the "add-on program," it looks as if BTV Negociator will be extremely helpful in resolving all of the issues I had. After spending just an hour or so working with the program, I think it is going to be well worth an investment of time and money.
