Ah -- that must be because you have the whole series set to record. So, Myth
found that the show's old channel/starting time event was deleted, but
there's a new channel/starting time event, so it got start.
So, if you have the whole series flagged to be recorded -- you're ok, but if
you scheduled only a single show to be recorded, it would likely get
dropped.
