OK.  I'm not going to commit anything until later tonight to give
anyone else a chance to weigh in.  I do have a couple of related
comments in the mean time.

First, there is currently no easy way to create a new, specific
scheduled recording if a generic one already exists.  You first have
to delete the generic one or make it more specific, create the new,
specific one and then go recreate or change the old, generic one back.
We could solve this by adding a new key binding and functionality
which always creates a new schedule recording instead of using an
existing one.

Second, an alternative approach to handling tweaking single showings
is to extend the record override handling to include things like
pre/post roll and recording profile.  This wouldn't handle the case
you gave for needing to tweak a WeekSlotRecording.
