Burger's problem: One of the Season Pass options is "First Run Only." Try that. Anything flagged as a repeat will not be recorded. Of course, the Tivo can only be as good as the guide info provided by the stations, so YMMV. [
Edited to add: Doh! I somehow missed that you already tried this. Ignore prior advice and continue.] If this fails, try a manual recording, and be careful when Fox reschedules its Sunday nights. BTW, there's no such thing as too much Simpsons. You should have just gotten a bigger Tivo.
ncs's problem: I have this problem too. The problem is that Comedy Central doesn't identify individual TDS episodes with discrete codes, so the Tivo has no way of knowing which episode is which. Stupid Comedy Central. Solution: change Season Pass options to "Episodes to keep: 1" and it will record over the last airing, meaning your Tivo won't fill up with repeats. Or, alternatively, just set up a manual recording for the airing you want; this is better b/c you don't want your tuner constantly tied up recording the latest airing of the same episode. Ignore this last piece of advice if you have the Directivo with dual tuners; tying up one tuner is less likely to matter to you.
