I do not think so, although you may be correct. But since repeat 
showings of 'Big Bang Theory' go by on one of the cable channels, about 
2 weeks after OTA broadcast, I would notice if every episode showed up 
again (because the callsign is different). I'm not sure that it uses any 
channel related information in order to determine the 'Previously 
Recorded' status.
