Seek Recordings

[naptime]

I'm a little annoyed that Seek timers sometimes choose to record a repeat broadcast later in the day rather than the first available episode. I can't imagine I'm doing it wrong, but welcome any advice.

All other tuners in use?

Not a chance.

I have had the same problem with basketball games. The first airing on ESPN or ESPN2 is skipped. The second showing on ESPNU is scheduled for recording. I got caught once. Since then I check the scheduled recordings and restore the original airing. And I do not have all 16 tuners in use.

Yeah, college hoops is the culprit here too.

This happens a lot with nascar and FS1/FS2.
My thought is,
Seek timers search entire lowest channel before moving to next higher channel.
Therefore, because FS2 (149) is lower channel number in guide the timer finds the replay on FS2 before the live event on the higher channel number FS1 (150).

Unless your show is on multiple networks, DON'T USE SEEK TIMERS!
