A new option that would allow programs without
subtitle/description/episodeid data to be ignored for a particular rule
would be great. This is useful for shows in syndication that are on a
million times a day (The Simpsons, Dora the explorer, etc), where you
don't want to record 3 different copies of the same no-identification
episode on different channels, along with one copy that was identified
properly in the guide data.
