Ummm, that's what a duplicate is.  A 'duplicate' in Myth refers to a program 
with the same title, subtitle & description that has been recorded at some 
point in the past, but has been deleted.  'Duplicate' does not refer to the 
same program that is still in your list of available recordings (i.e. hasn't 
been deleted).  Turn on the 'record duplicates' option, and Myth will record 
the shows without regard to whether they've ever been recorded in the past.  
When you've got the shows you want, you can turn the option off if you like.
