<br><br>So I grabbed LIFEP ("P"acific, might be LIFE where you are) listings<br>and found that this week there is a four hour "Human Trafficking" and<br>next week there are two Lifetime type movies at 7 and 9. Obviously
<br>an 8:30 manual would not be the right thing for the next couple weeks.<br><br>Here is a power search rule to record anything that is a movie on<br>Lifetime during primetime on Tuesdays:<br><br>Rule Name: "Lifetime Movies"
<br><br>program.category_type = 'movie'<br>AND channel.callsign = 'LIFEP'<br>AND HOUR(program.starttime) >= 19<br>AND HOUR(program.starttime) < 23<br>AND DAYNAME(program.starttime) = 'Tuesday'<br><br>Check the callsign then cut'n'paste this into the Custom Record page.
<br>See: <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.8">http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.8</a> . This<br>will record any Tuesday evening Lifetime movie and keep all of the<br>guide data.
