Different episodes, same topic?
-
I must admit I've been skipping ahead so haven't actually got round to watching these episodes yet but I've noticed on a couple of occasions there appear to be more than one episode with the same title and I'm not just talking about part 1, part 2 etc. Wireless Networking appears twice as does Internet Connection Types. Should I be watching both or is one newer than the other and therefore supersedes the first one?

Colin,
There's a couple of things going on here. When certification vendors or industry association decide to offer a certification, they decide on topics to cover, some in detail (like the CompTIA certs) and other's incredibly general (like the Microsoft certs). The topics tend to overlap because of the comprehensive nature of IT. So when they create exam objectives, they only look at technologies without thought of logical understanding. (order, previous topics, etc.).
Unlike certification study guides that present stuff based on logical coverage ( "Why I cover the material this way...) and doesn't overlap. We cannot use someone else's study guide because it's proprietary material and we are not licensed to present that material.
So at ITProTV, we cover the material objective by objective to make sure that every subscriber can be sure to know we've covered every single exam objectives and even more. It's not a logical manner but it is an order that can we do shows and cover the materials. So that's why you're getting the effect you're getting. I hope that made sense?! I tend to ramble....
Cordially,
