Recording Modes on the New DVR?

[soledade]

Guys,

Did anyone happen to catch any information regarding the recording modes on the DVR?

Specifically I would like to know if is supports:

(1) Name based recording. For example record all episodes of Seinfeld or all episodes of Tour de France.

(2) If Name based recording is supported can you specify only a part of the title. For example: the Tour de France episodes usually include other things in the title like Tour de France: stage 1, Tour de France: stage 2. I want it to find all Tour de France episodes regardless of the rest of the title.

(3) Can you ask it to record only new episodes. In other words can it record only the new episodes of Spanish Soccer. Even with 250 GB recording all Spanish Soccer reruns would lead to the DVR running out of space fast.

Thanks for the information!
Carlos

According to Scott 1 is yes. 2 and 3 not sure yet I know the answers.

It supports name based recording (not sure about part of a title)

But the voom rep said there will be an option to record only "new" eps (I specifically asked about that one)

Sean or Scott, when are you guys going to start beta testing on the DVR?

All I can say is that I will try to get my hand on one as soon as it is available.

If you guys read between Sean's posts, I think he's already had one for awhile but can't tell us. Sean, wipe that big silly grin off your face!
