That is how I have been running since day one. Something has happened  
lately. I have to go in a manually say never record on a bunch of  
shows. One just recorded the same show twice in one week. I have not  
changed anything so it must be the guide data. The only thing I can  
see but don't know if it has changed is at the end of the Description  
it has 'CC, Rerun' added. I don't know if that has always been part of  
the description or if it comes from other flags and is being added by  
Myth. I get the data from SchedulesDirect.org
