It looks like the scheduler reruns if hasChanged() is true
when finding RecordChanged = 'yes' in the settings table.

ScheduledRecording::signalChange(QSqlDatabase* db)
(see line 342 in MC/libs/libmythtv/scheduledrecording.cpp)
does the deed but maybe it sould be only be called by
something like ScheduledRecording::save(). Trace other
things that add to 'record' and see how they get to
signalChange().
