So, what you are saying here is that if you have "re-record watched" set
then watched shows that are deleted due to the max. episode limit in the
scenario at hand will be re-recorded, but regardless of the setting of
this option, unwatched ones won't? Or are you saying that "re-record
watched" will re-record unwatched as well as watched recordings?

Cheers,
Tom
