Football Favorite Recording English and Spanish Shows

[KarylFStein]

I have a team favorite. Starting this year it tags both the English broadcast on one channel and the Spanish broadcast on another channel (ESPN2) for recording. Is there some way to have a team favorite but somehow ignore the Spanish broadcast? The show title for the Spanish recording is in Spanish.

I don't want to set the favorite to only record from some channels as it moves around. Would something like the anti-favorites plug-in allow me to set up a title-based "ignore" and still allow the other favorite to record?

You might be able to do something like what I do for some of my series favorites. I added a keyword to it of EP\d+ so that only episode IDs that start with EP get recorded. Those with episode IDs starting with SH get skipped. So pick out a word that always appears in Spanish on the Spanish airing and enter that (if that is possible) as part of the keyword on that favorite. Technically I guess you want something that appears in the English version and all of them that doesn't appear in the Spanish since you can't do a negative compare unless you use RegEx like the \d+ in my example.

Don't know if that is possible but thought I would suggest it in case you do see this available.

Well, now I don't see any Spanish broadcasts in the future! But I did add a keyword "NFL Football" to the favorite as the Spanish one had a Spanish title. It did not seem to affect the recordings scheduled.

I tried something similar where I added a team favorite of Michigan State and it added football, basketball and women's basketball to my schedule. Then I added keyword College Football and it removed the basketball games from the schedule. If I add another team favorite with keyword College Basketball it will add basketball games to the schedule, (men's and women's games--doesn't look like you can match College Basketball but ignore Women's College Basketball).
