Newbie question - How to record only at a certain hour with Season Pass
 

Hi,

I have DirecTV with a Samsung SIR-S404r receiver.

I want to record first half hour of the Leno show at the 11:35pm showing.

When I use the season pass it will not let me record a portion of the show.
It also "picks up" a second show which shows on the same channel at 3:25am.
I then have to go to the "wish" and delete out the 3:25am entries.

Is there anyway to just record the 11:35pm showings?
I set the "show type" to first run only but that did not seem to help.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Fred

You'll have to do that with the option to "Manually record time and channel"
under "Pick Programs to Record".

I do the same thing, but just for Mondays. I want to catch the Headlines
segment, and that's pretty much it. :)

You can only do this by setting a manual recording. You can set a season
pass to end late, but not early.

The problem here is likely that the TV guide is given no specific
information about each episode, so it can't tell whether it's a new one
or a repeat. Not TiVos fault, it relies on the guide data for that feature.
Your best bet is just to set up a manual recording to
record each night at 11:35.

Any ideas?
