Author Topic: Sony scheduling software question Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 01-15-2012 05:33 PM                     I guess it doesn't matter now that I've already had my last day with AMC, but what the heck is the difference on the controller software between "delete shows" and "delete shows at once." From what I saw, they did the same thing (ask you if you wanted to delete it or not and if it was a recurring schedule if you only wanted to delete the one instance or not). The "at once" would sound like either it's an option for deleting multiple shows altogether or it means do it immediately. But in either case, the "delete show" and "delete shows at once" provide the same outcome with the same exact GUI.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: Boulder Creek, CA.

In older versions of SMS-C I think there was a bug that would prevent you from deleting SPL's irregardless of whether they were not scheduled in the future but had remained on the schedule in the past. To call the way the entire SMS works "retarded" would be an insult to folks who have a mental handicap so let's just go with "poorly kludged together".  |  IP: Logged
