Well, if you really want to *tape* the marathon, you're going to have to
get your old VCR out. Now, if you just want to record it, well... A
manual recording as previously suggested is the way to go.

I set up manual recordings in clips of 4 hours each, making transfer
to DVD easier for me.

Why doesn't a wishlist do it? Is the criteria correct? Do you change the
default setting of Keep at most from 5 to All? Is it high enough in
priority to not be bumped by other shows?

Manual recording, assuming you have enough space for it.
