Description

In the U.K. (Maybe other countries too) some broadcasters prefix show names with either New: or New_ this means that when scheduling a series to record the show MUST start with the prefix otherwise TVHE assumes the show is not being broadcast and therefore does not record it. Unfortunately the broadcasters are not always consistent with adding this prefix and sometimes the prefix is missing meaning the show is no longer recorded. From simple testing it appears that TVHE uses a wildcard at the start and end of the title meaning that if I manually remove the prefix once setting the recording all shows even those with the prefix will be recorded.

It would be nice to have the option in the recording profile to remove a list of user programmable words from the show title on the recording timer at the time of creation this would eradicate the problem entirely and a user programmable list would allow future prefixes or prefixes from different countries to easily be removed resulting in less missed recordings.

Thanks
Mike
