I recently bought a Roamio to replace the trusty old S3. Seems like an upgrade so far, but I am really confused about how OnePass works.
My wife loves Law & Order. She likes to watch old episodes when nothing else is on, so I have always had multiple Season Passes set up for her. One on NBC to get new episodes (all episodes, keep until delete) and then one on USA to cache a few old ones (10 episodes, keep until space needed). This way she is guaranteed to always have the new episodes, plus 10 old ones which refresh as needed.
So here is where I am in trouble. How do I do this on the new Roamio? I can't set up multiple OnePass subscriptions, apparently. So all I can choose is either the new episodes on NBC or all episodes across all channels, with only one retention policy. So now what is happening is that the Roamio is recording Law & Order on every channel, and it's on so often that you can discover in a day or two that dozens of repeats have been recorded and your new NBC episodes are gone.
At this point, my wife is not pleased with the new Roamio (or not pleased with me for upgrading, to be more accurate). This isn't the only show giving me this problem, but when the wife is unhappy, I'm miserable.
We've been a TiVo family since 2000, and I've been able to do this for 15 years, even on the S1 Sony box, so I know TiVo wouldn't remove this ability. I must be missing something with how I've set up the OnePass, but I'm pulling my hair out trying to find the magic setting to avoid this from happening.
Please help--thanks!
