We just moved from the Gateway to BlueSky. On the Gateway, we recorded The National once a night off of CBC News Network. It was set to record new episodes only, and to only save one episode. That way, only the most recent airing would be on the PVR.
I set up the same recording on the BlueSky PVR, but it's not working. First off, instead of recording only the first airing every night, it records all of them (The National airs 4 times between 7 and midnight). And then, keeps them all. It doesn't remove the 7PM airing when the 9PM airing comes on (and so forth), in other words.
It looks like the schedule is identifying every airing as a "new episode", even though they are all the same. Not sure why this would have changed with the BlueSky guide, but it has. Is there some way this can be fixed? Or alternately, can the PVR be manually set to record one particular airing at a certain time (7-8) every weeknight? I don't see any option for this.
Thanks!
Hey scarma,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your questions. From what I see here and believe, each hourly airing of The National is a "new" episode as the News should be going over different topics of the day and is not repeated.
I personally do not watch The National, can you clarify if each hourly airing is the same News content or is it repeating the same topics the entire day? I do see there are some episodes of The National that is marked "repeat".
There is currently no way to record at a specific time between 7-8 every weeknight. Your feedback is certainly appreciated and I understand that this feature is important. I will pass your feedback along to our video team so this feature can be looked into.
Cheers,
