Very cool.  As long as we're on the subject, I've noticed that if a
recording is suppressed and it's currently airing, I don't have the
ability to unsuppress the show.  For example, if it's 7:05 and I want to
record the current Simpsons episode that started at 7:00, I can go into
the guide and select to record it, but that'll affect the other
instances of the show.  Not good.  With the patch above, it sounds like
the same thing would happen.  Basically, I'd want to unsuppress this
episode from the "Season Pass", in Tivo speak, as it were...

So initially, it sounds like just changing the "Fix Conflicts" page to
include instances of a show that are currently airing, not just those
that haven't begin yet.  For selecting shows from the guide and/or from
LiveTV (with the patched 'R' key) it would have to check if it was a
suppressed recording.

Here's another one... I've noticed that when a recording is in progress,
I can't adjust post-roll.  Or can I?
