I think the scheduler might need to be run in certain instances
when you have "max episodes" turned on for a recording and you
delete one, that could drop you below the max so a new one can be
scheduled if available.  I could be deleting episodes so it will
record new ones.  Maybe it should only be run if there are items
marked as "too many recordings" otherwise it wouldn't need to be
run.
