Is there a way to just record a nightly show on just one of the nights?

Am I just overlooking that option somewhere?

You’re not. Currently you can limit by new/new and repeat, HD preference, channel, or airing time. There is a feature suggestion which would cover this, but it doesn’t currently have much interest (based on the number of votes):

DVR - Set 'Limit Airing time' to a range - including days of the week

It would be great to be able to provide a time range and day selection rather than just a specific time for a recording. For example if I was to want to record Emmerdale in the UK on ITV HD, I could set to only record episodes aired Mon-Fri between 6pm - 9pm on Channel 103. This would help where some evenings the show starts early if there’s live football, some evenings there are two episodes (normally 7pm and 8pm) and easily discount any repeat showings during the day or at weekends.
