Is Anduin saying that he doesn't want it to record repeat episodes? I must
get 15 Simpsons episodes a week, if I recorded for 6 months, I'd get a lot
of repeats.

The problem is, how do you detect a repeat? Even if you delete the video file
and store the description, the description will surely change if a repeat is
shown a month later (different person doing the write-up). And if it's shown
the same day, it'll have "(Repeat)" tagged on the front. I say just use the
delete menu.

At least the work-around is a lot easier than it was with VHS!
