[mythtv-users] Remove damaged recordings

[Brent Bolin]

I have wondered what the yellow colored recordings mean thanks for
answering that question. So there doesn't appear to be any automated method
to remove these

Maybe it's time to do a massive Purge I've got 8 HD tuners in about 800
recordings at any one time
