[mythtv-users] New recordings option

[Curtis Stanford]

That makes sense. Something must be wrong with my system then because 
the new recordings option just doesn't work. When I go to the advanced 
recordings options thing and pick 'New recordings only', it doesn't 
persist when I exit and has no effect on the schedule. The dupmethod 
field in the record table never gets set to 8 (which is for new 
recordings I believe).

I'm going to try a distclean again but I can't see how this is supposed 
to work.
