I believe (though I may be wrong) that the scheduler uses the particular
timeslot you selected when you created the rule as the start of the week.
I.e. if you created the rule using a Wed 6pm timeslot for the program then
the week runs from Wed 6pm to the next Wed. So an episode on Tuesday would
belong to the previous week. So what you want to do is to create the rule
on the first "new" episode of the week.
