Does the "any channel" option in DVR actually work?

I've selected the option, but it doesn't seem to pull in any other episodes when I do. In fact, for King of Queens I have 2 separate series recordings for the different channels. Because they don't seem to be pulling in the episodes from all the channels.

Hi, the option works just fine. As always, let's look at the particulars of an example in detail:

Thanks.

Do a search and then click on Programs.  Do you get something like this?

If so you're getting two different IDs back for the same show and this will cause and issue when recording.
First box on my system id=2110064
Second box on my system id=2103151

Yep. Do you think I need to just wait for beta to hit the public release?

No that won't help for this issue.
The Guide Data itself has different IDs between the US and UK in my case.

If you get the 2 shows like this show up what channels are they and what Guide sources are you using?

One is TV Land and the other is WDVM / CMT, and they're both using Emby Guide data. Where do you see the id's for the programs?

Actually I haven't verified this yet but will. I can only reproduce this on my production system and it's busy recording NFL games today so I need to wait until it's done recording to be able to get a copy of the database for me to look at and then trace it back to the guide itself.

I just checked and they do have different id's. I don't know why though. Seems like the exact same issue as the one that was fixed in beta.
