I don't know if this is any better but how about "delete this
and allow this episode to be recorded again in the future" with
tmpmessage "Yes, delete and allow re-record" or something 
similar.

The opposite would also be useful. Say Nova is showing a rerun
from two years ago three times this week. I've seen it so I
don't need to record any of them.  On the override page there
could be a choice for "I've already seen this episode". It
should still add an override type 2 in case it doesn't match
the duplicate policy then also add an entry to oldrecorded.
