I've just been looking at the listings for the Olympics, trying to
decide what I want to setup to tape.<br>
I figure that grabbing a while lot of stuff and then deleting or
auto-expiring the things when nothing happens is the best bet. I'm not
expecting to watch most of it by any means =)<br>
I'm also not going to be able to bare skipping through 6 hours of TV1
coverage to see if there is anything interesting.<br>
<br>
I thought I might mention my decisions here to see if other people have
any thoughts or anything different to suggest.<br>
<br>
<br>
I decided on 3 Custom Recording rules<br>
<br>
1) Opening and Closing Ceremonies<br>
(UPPER(program.title) LIKE "%OPENING%CEREMONY%LIVE%" OR <br>
UPPER(program.title) LIKE "%CLOSING%CEREMONY%LIVE%" <br>
) AND channel.callsign = "TVNZ SPORT EXTRA"<br>
<br>
2) Finals<br>
(UPPER(program.title) LIKE "%FINAL%" <br>
) AND channel.callsign = "TVNZ SPORT EXTRA"<br>
auto expires when it gets 10 episodes. I reckon this gives me time to
review and keep anything if we actually win a medal in it =)<br>
<br>
3) Sports I like or NZ may do well in<br>
(UPPER(program.title) LIKE "%ROWING%" <br>
) AND channel.callsign = "TVNZ SPORT EXTRA"<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Which has given me the following suggested recordings<br>
<br>
