Suggestion: More "days" options for Advanced manual favorites

[TwistedMelon]

When setting up manual favorite recordings the only options are ALL and then each individual day. This isn't suitable to record many types of show airings.

We also (badly) need two more options: Weekdays and Weekends. The first would do, M,T,W,T,F and the second would do Saturday & Sunday.

The one show I absolutely must have set to manual has five new episodes per week and then repeats one of those episodes on Sunday.

Right now I can't avoid recording the Sunday episode without manually cancelling it (see my other message about record cancelling bug). Unfortunately all episode are marked as re-runs and that's why I have to use a manual fav in the first place.

I'd also love to be abllle to specify a secondary (optional) time. The same episode is on at both 7pm and 11pm each day. If there's a conflict or for some reason the 7pm one doesn't record (program crashing is the most common right now) i'd like it to pick up the 11pm one automatically.

Can't leave it set to "ANY" time because the previous night's episode is also on during the day at least once if not twice. The show is on Discovery Channel (in Canada) and you know how crazy their schedules are.

I've also already written to Tribune to see if they'd modify their data so it doesn't list every episode as rerun and originally aired in 2002. No reply.
