I want to use MC to replace my VCR (we have no TiVo in Canada).
1. Re Periodic Task.
How can I set the scheduler so that it tapes the same show, M-F, but where each recording is given a different name, even if it is just a (1) and (2) appended at the end of the name? Currently only one output name is allowed, which means the show is overwritten on a daily basis.
(I know I can just create a periodic task for each weekday instead, but the same problem will occur when this Monday's program is overwritten by next Monday's program. I plan on taping up to 2 weeks worth of tv shows.)
2. Can I rename the "action" under Periodic Task List to reflect what I am taping, so "TVProgramName" instead of "Start Recording TV"?
3. What is required for my being able to access the scheduler via Theatre View: A plug-in? If so, I'll learn about writing one. Or perhaps I can access Media Scheduler directly using a remote? If so, I'll learn about how to set that up. Basically I just need to know what I'm supposed to learn to get this working.
