[mythtv] conflict resolution

I'm moving this thread over to the dev list because it seems appropriate.

I have added a function that allows the user to choose to suppress a 
recording that's not in conflict, but I'm unsure which is the best way 
to actually prevent the recording.

Since I don't have a conflict list, I assume the conflict tables are not 
useful. Or are they?

Since the only mechanism I've found that corresponds to a "suppress" 
ability is the oldrecorded table, I tried inserting the program info 
into oldrecorded. The table contents look good, but the program is not 
suppressed. I call ScheduledRecording::signalChange(db) but the program 
is still enabled for recording.

Having the ProgramInfo record, what's a good simple way to cause a 
specific program to be suppressed?
