I demand that Kartsa may or may not have written...
I don't know about other countries but in finland often programs have reruns within few days causing some autotimer to timer same event twice. This is quite usual especially with series.
So I wonder if it would be a good idea or even feasible to have weekday selection in autotimer setup?
Insufficient. For example:
Yesterday, BBC1, 19:00: Dr Who Repeated today, BBC3, 00:05 Repeated today, BBC3, 19:00
Then there are the films which are split into two - look at ITV3 for examples. You'll also see that they're repeated fairly promptly...
