I know MCEBuddy can do this, and I feel like I’m just overlooking something simple. I recently started using nPVR (finally giving up on WMC) and things are humming along nicely. However, nPVR doesn’t include the Channel Name in the file names, so I cant use my old filters (AXS, ~*NBC, etc) to run d…
