Ours is not a brand name TiVo, but it seems to not record episodes that are duplicates of something it recorded say in a two week period (even if you've deleted it). After that it will record the same episode again.
with TiVo, it depends on the complete-ness of the guide info. if the guide contains detailed info for a series, like episode title and description, then TiVo will be able to avoid recording each episode more than once. however, if it's a series that typically does not have a detailed listing in the guide, then TiVo will have problems with it. it shouldn't have any problem with most of the popular weekly series, but if you're interested in recording something like a news broadcast, talkshow, or syndicated series that's shown more than once per day, there's some chance that it will try to record duplicates. you could go into the "to do" list and remove the duplicates from the list, although that might get slightly tiresome.
