Future Recordings not Working for Movies

Hi Folks;

I'm running MCE 2005 w/all updates. The problem I'm having is scheduling
works except for future recordings of movies. So, if I manually set it to
record a movie, that's in the guide, it will do it. If I manually schedule
it to record anything that's in the guide, it will do it. It will also
record a series that's in the guide as well as upcoming episodes for that
series that aren't in the guide. It will also record keyword entries without
issue.

The problem seems to be localized to movies that are set to record in the
future, ie, ones that are not currently in the guide where MCE needs to wait
for it to appear to record it.

Basically it's like this, if I go into the movies section and lookup a movie
by actor, let's say Will Smith, and then review his list of movies and
choose one to be recorded in the future - it won't. It will accept it, it
will look like it will (all settings OK) but when that movie finally shows
up in the guide it won't 'see' it and as a consequence, it won't record it.

A current example is Tomorrow Never Dies. I chose it from the Movies section
(I think it was under actor Pierce Brosnan) to be recorded in the future, it
was OK with that, and now I see that it's in the guide and NOT scheduled to
record it.

If I go into the recorded series section and scroll down to the Tomorrow
Never Dies entry and click on it - it shows that there are no scheduled
recordings for that entry - it doesn't 'see' it in the guide I guess. This
seems to be occurring for every movie that I chose to record in the future.

The wierd thing is, it used to work. I clearly can recall movies being
recorded once and then the entry for them in the queque being deleted.

If I use XML Notepad to look at recordings.xml I can see the entry for
Tomorrow Never Dies under WishListRecordingRequest I made the request on
2009-04-19 (April 19 of '09) yet it's not scheduled even though it's come up
in the guide. The title for the entry is the same as the title for the movie
in the guide.

What to do?

Best!
Dave
