That's correct, it adds it directly to the grid. I like this functionality 
because I just want to see if a show is a repeat with a quick glance. If it 
is a repeat, I typically don't want to scroll to it to see the description. 
With the current theme functionality, I have to scroll to it first to see if 
it is a repeat. I've had it running on my screen for a little while now and 
I don't think it looks busy. Actually, if I had my choice, I'd rather have 
the repeat info displayed on the grid than the genre if people think it's 
too busy.
