Ken,

The helpful replies so far (especially how this can be achieved using
the API) are suggesting how to remove knowledge of the missing
recordings from the database so that they may be recorded again in the
future.

They do not go as far as creating a recording rule for each missing
recording so that they are automatically recorded when next broadcast.
Is this what you are after?

Thanks,
Nick
