What to do when cable goes out, and a show isnt repeated?!
AGH!
Heh. Many times now, our cruddy cable has gone on the blink for an entire night... and I miss a couple recordings. This week I missed out on the two episodes of Dead Like Me on SciFi. I looked up when those two specific shows will show again, and they don't appear to be so. Grrrrrrrrrrr. Also missed out on Studio 60 this week (blastid storms). So... what to do ? Read a book ? |

If you _need_ the episodes right away, some places sell the episodes online or on DVD... but that depends on how soon they are released after being aired. But, other than shows that are being ended or cancelled, they usually get repeated at some point later in the season. Make sure you have the Fav set to record reruns.
A&E is airing the last several MI-5 episodes this weekend, since I think they've decided to no longer air that series. That would be a bad time for my cable to go out! - Andy

If a fav is set to record first and re runs... does it record shows that you had recorded AND watched before? Cause... it recorded those shows this week, but all they were are static! heh.

Also 'Delete because it is the wrong recording' will tell sage to ignore any watched status for this show

Ah... so its the 'watched' status that tells it NOT to re-record another rerun of the same show. Makes sense, just didn't know if that is truly what it did
Might explain why it hasnt been recording a bunch of MythBusters reruns that I have apparently already seen! |

I buy the show on iTunes, and then use a Sage 6 client to play it in the living room - at least that's the theory.
