I have been really enjoying plex which is an evolution of xbmc. It has been more stable and offered all the options and features i have been wanting.

"Schedule Options" are "Don't record...", "Record only this...", "Find

option, nor "daily" now that I think of it... perhaps more missing.

The options you are looking for are still in there, they just moved them to be filters, which they were anyway.  To get to them, go to MythWeb and look up a show that you would like to record and go to the page that you would normally go to to schedule it, then click on the word "(Display)" next to "Advanced Options".  Then down down till you see a box labeled "filters" about a bunch of check boxes.  The check boces you are looking for are "This time" to record every day at this time and "this day and time".  There is also another one that you will probably want which is the "This channel" option so that I make sure that myth doesn't try and grab the episode from some weird side channel that only plays it in Spanish or is in standard definition..etc..etc..

I would highly recommend that you break down and just pay the $25 a year for a Schedules Direct contract.  It's well worth the money and it sounds like you will save a LOT more than $25 worth of headaches.  That will also allow you to reliable just tell the system to record your show and call it done without having to try and treat a DVR like it's a VCR.  It also lets you come up with crazy customized scheduling rules like record all scifi movies made between 1950 and 1975 that are 2 stars or less (ie, record B movies).  I personally have one that say record all "specials" on comedy central that are over 1/2 hour. I don't believe the over the air schedules give you anywhere near the amount of info that you would need to even start to do custom rules like that.
