OTA Pass not being scheduled

[ewtaylo]

This is a specific problem not a general one.

I have SD Flex 4 tuner set up. CBS has begun showing "The Price is Right at Night" on Mondays and Fridays. The show is on my guide and I can select it from there and set up a season pass. The pass shows up in my list of passes.

However, when I look through my guide the show is not set up to record and low and behold it does not get recorded.

I would like to be able to record all of these shows without going in every week and doing manual recordings. Is there something that can be done?

Other hints: For this show I use PlayOn Cloud if I completely miss the showing (via Paramount+). Searching for "The Price is Right at Night" on that app returns no hits. In order to record this on PlayOn Cloud I search for The Price is Right and then "at Night" shows are listed there. So it looks like CBS lists both of these shows under Price Is Right. However, my "The Price is Right" season pass does not pick up the evening shows. I have just changed my The Price Is Right season pass to record all shows instead of just new ones. I will report back if this solves the issue.

They are all re-runs, are you using the default options for the pass?

Notice there are no matches.

Remove the New condition and now there are matches.

Edit: You can do the same on the Simple tab by selecting All Episodes

Maybe re-record deleted episodes too. Just in case you deleted them before.

Thank you for the help. @dschaper you helped me realize that I could look up the seriesid. So I went to my DVR server and poked around. I h ave discovered that on my setup each showing has a different SeriesID. Friday looks like:

Next Monday looks like:

And next Friday looks like:

I wonder why your pictures all show the same SeriesID and mine dont.

I have the server running on Fedora 36.

Yep, they're all different seriesID's.

Best to match by Title

Looking at zap2it.com it appears these are stand alone "Specials", not a Series.

[ewtaylo]

Oh Shoot! I didnt even think that they might be specials. I was so convinced that it was a series.

Anyway, Thank you @chDVRuser for pointing me in the right direction. I have the Pass set up now and I wont miss any more recordings. I also learned a bit more about the features of the DVR and I am still very happy I have it.
