Or in other words, if you want to insert recording rules directly 
into the database*, you need to tell the backend to reschedule so 
that it can pick up the new rule and do the necessary for the program 
to be recorded - rules evaluated, recordings scheduled & allocated to 
tuners etc.

* Generally not the recommended method as you are then responsible 
for spotting any schema changes in the future and updating your code.
