I admit that a decent amount of this thread is over my head.  It sounds like,
to make the scheduler query less problematic, the consensus is to eliminate the
"find duplicates in current recordings" option, and replace it's functionality
with the currently available "find duplicates in previous recordings" and
judicious use of "delete and allow re-record."  Am I correct in this?

If so, won't the following problems
:
1) Myself, wife, or kid accidentally hit "delete" instead of "allow rerecord",
and possibly don't notice it.  That episode goes away forever (or at least
until you realize you haven't seen it in a really long time).

2) Once the change is made, won't you be starting in a undesirable state?  To
go back to the Simpsons example, I haven't been using "delete and allow
rerecord" because it wasn't necessary (because I've been using "duplicates in
current recordings").  So once that option goes away I'll have to know to go
back and manually set them all (perhaps hundreds of them) to allow re-record.

Sorry if I have any of that wrong...
