ABSTRACT:
A client device for a television-based entertainment system receives a viewer request to record episodes of a program and generates an episode record chart that designates a start time to record the episodes on one or more broadcast dates. The client device establishes a time window that can include a first time period before the designated start time to record the episodes and a second time period after the designated start time to record the episodes. The client device determines whether additional episodes of the program are scheduled for broadcast within the time window, which may include on any broadcast channel one or more days of the week, and if so, generates an episode exclude chart that designates one or more episode broadcast times on one or more days of the week to identify the additional episodes of the program that will not be recorded.
