Don't record if there is no subtitle?

Is there a way to schedule so it will record a show whenever it's on, except if there is no subtitle?

I have for instance Family Guy set to record at any time on any channel, and keep 6 episodes (expiring old) but...so much of the guide data is simply "Family Guy" with no episode info, it's pointless to record them. I don't really care what episodes I have, I just want them to stay "fresh" but without the subtitle, I just get a bunch of useless titles, and really, they end up just wasting space as they don't get watched. I only watch them if I read the subtitle and description and it's either a good episode, or one that I don't recall, and thus "new to me" :)

If you have any ideas, thanks

Have you tried 'Duplicate Check" = subtitle?

I've tried all the options...the only one that removes them, is the "new recordings" only...and that's no good. :(

Hmm, looks like it might be a bug?

as a hack, you could try updating the program table setting null subtitles to a non-null value...maybe 'No-subtitle'

I bet subtitle matching would work. trick would be to update the subtitle after the schedule load and before the recording is scheduled.

How about creating a custom recording schedule item for the title "Family Guy", and then modifying it to include an additional clause to exclude programs without a subtitle:

Code:
program.title="Family Guy" and program.subtitle<>""
