Smart Series Guide, highlight it and press the Delete key on the keyboard.  That will delete any schedules already associated with the Smart Series Guide, but it will not delete any recordings.

]]> Program Guide section of the EyeTV Programs window, and find an episode of a series you want to record.

Click on the colored rectangle surrounding the title of that episode, to see the Details View.

Press the Record All button at the bottom of the Details View, to create a Smart Series Guide.

You can also use the Program Guide in the On Screen Menu to select an episode.    Then, press the Record All button to create a Smart Series Guide.

Creating a Smart Series Guide automatically creates a corresponding Smart Playlist.

]]> Smart Series Guide is a special Smart Guide, that records all episodes of a certain series on a certain channel.

The default settings of a new Smart Series Guide are to record all matches, create a new playlist to contain those recordings, and to not limit the amount of items recorded.

A Smart Series Guide will examine your EyeTV Library, and will not record an episode if it already exists in your collection - that unneeded schedule will be skipped.

]]> EyeTV Programs window, then click the Action menu (that looks like a gear) and select Keep Recording. ]]>
We are looking for new episodes of the “Simpsons” that are on one specific channel.

Start from the main EPG window’s search field by typing “Simpsons”.

Then change the Any Field contains Simpsons condition to Title contains Simpsons (to avoid catching Simpsons that appear on late night comedy channels).

Then add the Repeat is false condition to get only the new episodes, and the Channel is 2 condition (because there are several cable channels carrying new Simpsons episodes).

In this way, you’ll only find the new episodes of the Simpsons and won’t have to weed out the duplicates afterwards.

To permanently remove a Smart Guide, highlight it and press the Delete key on the keyboard.  That will not delete any recordings or schedules already associated with the Smart Guide;  it will only remove that specific automatic search. ]]> Add Schedule button.  You can also choose to record it by pressing the pink circle underneath the name of each item in the Smart Guide.

Press the Options button if you would like your Smart Guide to automatically Record All Matches of the programs that it finds.  You have the option to add these recordings to a certain playlist, or to export them to iTunes, in the iPod, iPhone or Apple TV formats. You can also let EyeTV create the corresponding Smart Playlist that will contain the subsequently recorded programs.
 
Finally, you can tell EyeTV to keep only a certain amount of recordings.  You may be recording 10 items each week using a Smart Guide, but if you select Keep 5 shows, then only the last 5 recordings for that Smart Guide will be saved - the rest will be deleted.  This will let you give a rough limit for how much hard drive space each Smart Guide will use for recordings.
