Take a look at

http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/programs/mythbackend/upnpcdstv.cpp

and tweak the array declared at line 39. It looks like %1 isn't always  
expanded into a where clause so you couldn't simply add a recGroup !=  
'whatever' after the %1.

I suppose you could replace the reference to the recorded table with a  
subquery that says (select * from recorded where recGroup != 'abc'). I  
think mysql wants an alias when you use subqueries.

Or you could create a view and update the array to reference that.

Or... anyway you get it.
