Hi David

I have a recording priority set on every channel - higher for local HD 
channels, lower for cable HD channels, lower for SD channels, etc. This 
way I ensure I get the best possible recording. On some shows I have 
used a custom recording rule with a setting that restricts to recording 
priority greater than a certain value.

My suggestion for this would be to add a "minimum channel recording 
priority" option to the recording rule. This way if you are recording 
reruns of a show,  it does not record some episodes in SD or from 
unreliable channels when those episodes are not available in the next 
2-3 weeks on your preferred channels.
