I have observed a curious behavior if I transfer a show onto a tivo, via MRV. Say, for example, I transfer the "Ugly" episode of "House" onto "Tivo1". Tivo1 has a season pass for House, set to record all episodes(new and rerun, but not duplicate). If "Ugly" is aired again, on the Season Pass's channel, for the purposes of the Season Pass, the MRV transferred episode is not counted, the Season Pass records the "Ugly" episode of "House", resulting in a duplicate (the mrv transferred copy, and the recently recorded copy) even though the Season Pass is not set to record duplicates.

Why does it do this? Also, if I were to transfer the same episode from one tivo to the next, via mfs_ftp, would the tivo still exhibit this curious behavior?

mfs_ftp with chrised's excellent p1.tcl (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?p=246780#post246780) patch for grouping will also prevent duplicate recordings.
