FEATURE REQUEST: Watch List for favourite shows in case they are broadcast in the future

There are many old shows/seasonal favourites which I would like to get into my media library, but as I am always on the go, there is a high probability that, if they are ever aired, I may well miss them (or at least the first few episodes until I notice that it is being broadcast).

What I would love is a function where I can list all of the shows (which are currently not found via the EPG) that I would want to record whenever/if ever they are broadcast in the future. Whenever doing an EPG refresh, the system can check whether any of my listed shows have been found, and, either record if there is a close proximity to the name I list it as, or, notify me via email that a partial name match has been found, and allow me to log on and set it to record manually.

Keyword recording like EyeTV would allow this easily. It’s the top feature I’d like to see implemented in DVR after stability.

It lets you record based upon rules you create using the metadata. So I’ve got one rule that says to record if:

Title = Maverick
Season = 1
Episode Number = 4

That’s the only episode I’m missing. But it would be easy with this function to make rules to do what you’re talking about.

+1 - I used to love this feature in EyeTV
