You just need to find more stuff to record in advance. We never sit down and
think "what's on TV now", we always think "what have we got recorded to
watch". Currently we've got about 40 hours of stuff we haven't watched yet
so there's just no need to browse what's on at this moment.
EPG that showed repeats etc. would be a blessing, we can live in hope.
That would be great, but unless the government legislates we're not going to
see it. There is no incentive for broadcasters to let you know whether
something is a repeat or not.
Cheers,
Steve
