That was my guess too when I encountered it some time ago. But since I
only record so adhoc if I'm testing I forgot about it. It would be
nice that if you select a show in the guide it would record that one
and not a future repeat! But I guess it comes with the standard select
mechanism, where a complete recording is favored over an incomplete
one.
