Hmm, my latest debian unstable CVS build was dated 8th of may, so I should 
really slap myself for beeing sloppy :)

Yea, there is two. One basic and one advanced, and the advanced can be reached 
from the basic. But the basic page can be disabled under Setup/TV 
Settings/General/Always use Advanced Recording Options screen. Are we talking 
past each other now, or is this what it's all about? Or are we talking about 
splitting the 'Advanced Recording' page into something like Schedule, 
Profile, Priority, Auto Expire, Max Episodes, Delete Oldest (though that was 
implied by 'Max Episodes'), and the Duplicate Checks on one page and moving 
the Early/Late and Group to another page (just an example, the first page is 
what I frequently use)?
