I'm still having problems getting MythTV to record everything ?, it can 
record "groups" of stuff, but even when I try to fool it my saying " 
program.title <> 'nova' " it does not work ?, it almost seems that there 
is some logic that is preventing really wild searches ?

Also, does anyone know how to remove rules ? there does not seem to be a 
delete rule option ?, I know you can make the inactive, but the still 
appear in the edit rule list - i.e. they always "appear or look" to be 
active, in other words its not obvious which rules are active if you 
have a lot ?
