Sorry, of course you're right.

DE> Not really.  I think you missed the point of reactivation.  It is only

DE> Here are a couple of examples where reactivation can be used.

DE> You stop or delete a recording while it is in progress and then

DE> You realize a program isn't being recorded because of conflicts.  You
DE> can stop recording one of the conflicting programs to free up a tuner
DE> and then reactivate the program you want to record.

DE> FYI, you'll should only see the "Reactivate it" button on the
DE> overrides screen when it is applicable, i.e. when that program would
