Manual timer with show title on H3

[RTCDude]

Sorry for a new thread, but searching didn't find anything.

Back on the old VIP722 recorders, it was possible to setup a manual timer with the title of a show, with no exact show time or channel. That way, whenever that show showed up in the future, regardless of time or channel, it would get recorded.

The only manual time setting I can find on the H3 is one that only sets a timer for a specific time, date, and channel; no title. Is there any way to set up a timer on a H3 that acts like the old VIP722 recorders?

They must have removed it from the H3. I have some old ones in my timer list. They show as Seek but grayed out on Edit screen. Only options now are DVR or AutoTune.

I have a Hopper 3 and my software version is H389. On my 40.0 remote, I press the "Search" button. As you enter a title, it will show possible matches. When you see the match you want, select it. It should give you the option to record matches on all channels creating a Seek timer. I just deleted a couple of Seek Timers that worked on Friday and Sunday for NCAA men's basketball, so Seek still works if you can create it.

Yeah, it's called Seek recording, and the only way now I know how to do it is to search for a show or actor (or look at the list they show as [you may also like] at the end and then select it. If it's in the schedule, then it will set the recording. If not, it will set a Seek timer so that whenever it comes up on any channel, it will record it. I have a few sets for StarGate Universe, etc.

I wish they would put it back. I record Svengoolie every Saturday night on MeTV and DISH does not have any guide data for my local MeTV station. So I have a bunch of MeTV recordings on my DVR... I wish I could rename them.

We're working on a different process for this.
