--before option in pvr searches

[Graham p]

Bill
 
I use the 'categories containing' field in the search tab within the PVR and set it to 'hd' when i add these series/programs to ensure only hd is downloaded.
 
so if you already have your program in the pvr list, delete it (the edit a pvr item doesnt allow you to edit a field outside the standard set unless you already have added it) and then se the HD value in the Categories containing field. Then click on add series.
 
hope this helps
