I don't think that I have ever added a custom recording rule, other than<span><br>

In addition to my last response, I'm still considering that<br>
you have a custom rule (I know you said you didn't create<br>
one.)<br>
<br>
Assuming you're running 0.25 or later, this will print all<br>
descriptions (which is where custom queries will be stored.)<br>
<br>
curl --silent localhost:6544/Dvr/GetRecordScheduleList | sed "s/></>\n</g" | /bin/grep "<Description>" | grep Breakfast<br>
<br>
The above is also on one line. And run from your backend.<br>
<br>
If you don't have curl in your host, replace: curl --silent<br>
with: wget -O- --quiet<br>
<br>
You could pastebin the output if you have questions.<div><div><br>
