I just looked at it again. Mythweb appears at first glance to be doing the
right thing (grep for forget_old in modules/tv). I seem to recall that it
isn't just Delete + rerecord that has the problem--I think it's any "forget
old" function in mythweb. Possibly the backend is not processing the
FORGET_RECORDING command correctly? Or maybe mythweb is sending the wrong
command (it's been deprecated, perhaps?) Not sure; I don't have the mythtv
source handy to look into it.
