Now that Ten are showing The Bachelors repeats in the afternoon, Entertainment Tonight gets dumped or is cut to shreds. The other day it ran for 10 mins.
At least they are consistently running the full 30 min show next morning now. The only problem is that the 10min version and 30 min version will have the same title/description, so my Fetch box won’t record the full version if it has recorded the half-arsed version.
Is there any way that Ten can alter the descriptions of the program, so my recorder can record both?
For example Entertainment Tonight S42 E87 PM and Entertainment Tonight S42 E87 AM

No, it won’t record repeats. So if a show is screened two or three times, it will only record the first screening. It’s based on episode number. That way, if you have set up The Project in Record Series, it will record at 6.30pm and not the repeat at 11/11.30pm.
Unfortunately if Ten decide to screen a 10 minute version of Entertainment Tonight in the afternoon, it will record that but not record the 30 minute version next morning because they have both been labelled with the same episode number.
The only way possible is to permanently delete the recording from Deleted Items to allow the repeat to be recorded. That’s annoying because you have to delete all recordings, so you can’t retrieve anything, if you want to go back and look at something a few days later. My old PVR let you permanently delete selected recordings but Fetch forces you to permanently delete all recordings.

They can air The Project repeat an hour earlier, so The Late Show can air at an earlier time (as its new content). Thus meaning that Home Shopping can get an extra hour’s in revenue…
Strange how Ten are showing the episodes of Ghosts out of order. Tonight we had episodes 8 and 11 from season 2. Last week we had episode 7. The Christmas episodes which were episodes 9 and 10 were shown weeks ago.
I can understand that they wanted to show those closer to Christmas but there are slight continuity problems to the ongoing storylines when they do that. It’s annoying.
and which is why people are continuing to switch off. The short term dopamine hit that these shows give the networks are to the wider detriment of the whole sector as everything else is just left to run down.
