The Remote Scheduling Portal includes an automatic scheduling feature. This allows you to set up rules which are matched against the EPG data as it comes in eight days ahead. When a match is found, it's possible to either have it send you an email message, or to attempt to automatically schedule the recording on your behalf.

Rule Elements

The only mandatory parts of a rule are the Name and Synopsis fields; at least one of them must be specified.

Type
The type of rule, either Email which causes emails to be sent when matches are found or Schedule which attempts to schedule any events found.
Subtype
Whether to treat matches as single events or, if possible, series.
Date
If specified, only match events which occur on this date.
Channel
If specified, only match events shown on this channel.
Content Type
If specified, only match events with this content type (as set by the content provider).
Name
Part of the EPG name to match. This supports wildcards, * for 0 or more characters, ? for exactly one character. It is matched against the EPG as a substring.
Synopsis
Part of the EPG synopsis. This supports the same wildcards as name.

Examples
