Server Version#: 1.19.4.2935 (running on a WD-PR4100)
Player Version#: 4.37.1
Tuner Make/Model: HDHomeRun
Guide/Lineup name: Broadcast TV Nashville OTA Broadcast
Using XMLTV?: No
Channel number/Name: 4.5 WSMVDT5 (CIRCLE)
The Grand Ol’ Opry airs live at 7PM Central Time (US) each Saturday night on 4.5 WSMVDT5 (CIRCLE). It re-airs on the same channel at 8PM. (back to back airings). This is a standard definition channel. The show re-airs at 10:35PM on channel 4.1 on Sundays (the following day). This is an HD channel.
Problem #1: If I set the show to record “new airings only” and “prefer HD” then it will record the 10:35PM showing on channel 4.1 on Sunday. And it skips recording the SD event on Saturday night. I don’t mind if Plex re-records the episode on Sunday night to get an HD version, but I don’t want it to skip the SD recording on Saturday night.
Problem #2: To get around problem #1, I try limiting the recording to a certain time. The time provided in the dropdown are off by 1 hour. If I select 8pm, it records the 7pm show. If I select 9pm, it records the 8pm show. There is either some sort of time-zone or DST bug when it lets me pick the preferred time.
Here are the logs for issue #1:

A fix has already been produced for that and will get through the release process for inclusion in a future version of Plex Media Server,
