Comment(by stuartm):
Breaking the rules on discussions in tickets when they belong on the
mailing list, so I apologise in advance.
I think it's important to explain why the max episodes is tied to the
recording rule and not the title/programme id. Lets say you are a big fan
of Scrubs, you want to recorded the entire new series on Thursday nights
at 8pm, so you setup a timeslot recording with no episode limit. You also
like watching old repeats from the early seasons which are shown every day
at 3pm so you setup another daily timeslot rule, but because these are
repeats you don't want to record every last one and you set a max episode
limit of 5. If the episode limit was based on the title or programme id
the second rule would quickly prevent the new series from being recorded
(or cause the episodes to expire) and that clearly isn't what the user
expects to happen.
This ticket highlights why it's better to modify an old rule instead of
deleting it and creating a new one.
