Can't edit subscription when near time
« on: February 27, 2015, 04:56:44 am »

When you add a subscription to record. It bakes in the "when" into the subscription options menu.
So in the subscription settings. Under when it can be something like this...
"One per week, near Wednesday at 8:00".

Is there any way to edit this without deleting the subscription and remaking it?

I decided to set up a few subscriptions. Many of them are not on the correct day or time.
Do I need to remake them in order to change these settings?

It also looks like this UI could share many of the attributes. Like Name, channel and time.

Thanks
Scott

You can choose from the drop down list.  The actual time in the first two choices are filled with the original program time when you scheduled it.  If the program time has changed, your best option is to delete it and re-do subscription.

If you select No reruns, and do not record previously recorded episodes, why don't you just change the time to 'All Showings'?  That is how I set up all of my subscriptions, that way, if it changes days or time, I am covered, and I never get duplicates.

Ya that is what i did. But i wanted it a little cleaner setup.
When i look at my recording i can see when i expect it to be recorded.
So it's a little frustrating i have to delete a recording and make a new one.

For example:
I want to start recording some of my kids TV shows.
But Kids tv shows tend to play a lot of times in a day. So i'll be filling my HD with old episodes.
Unless i remake the recordings to match there airtimes. And if there show changes time.
I'll need to do it again. Or say goodbye hd space

For shows that have unique show name, series name, and description (a lot of kids' shows do, as well as "Grimm" shown in your screenshot), the option "Do not record shows that have been previously recorded" would help.

Yes i will be doing that.
It just seems unnecessarily un-edible. When you already have the UI elements on the same page.

Thanks
