Yeah, this has the basics working. Good job.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Here's another example of why I make a big deal about channel
(frequency) and station (building), things quickly become "who's
on first?". You can not create a second rule for the same
(frequency)/(station). You need to create two different rules
for two (frequency)/(station) pairs i.e. 8/KLAS (1008) and 128/KLAS
(2128).

Yes, with your patch 4. The point of the FromProgram() change was
that the scheduling pages should not mark a status for instances
on other chanids. Therefore, I can add another rule on a showing
from another chanid. Before they were marked "O" for the recordid
of the rule on the other chanid.

If I go to the EPG or any proglist page and set a rule for one
chanid, showings on other chanids are rsUnknown and I can add
another rule for the same show for that chanid only also. I added
a rule for "Teen Kids News"

8/4 9:30 am   8 KLAS   Teen Kids News    2
8/4 9:30 am   128 KLAS Teen Kids News    -
8/4 12:00 am  19 LV1   Teen Kids News    -
8/11 9:30 am  8 KLAS   Teen Kids News    2
8/11 9:30 am  128 KLAS Teen Kids News    -
8/11 12:00 am 19 LV1   Teen Kids News    -

I then clicked "I" on the second line and made a second dupchanid
rule:

8/4 9:30 am   8 KLAS   Teen Kids News    2
8/4 9:30 am   128 KLAS Teen Kids News    1
8/4 12:00 am  19 LV1   Teen Kids News    -
8/11 9:30 am  8 KLAS   Teen Kids News    2
8/11 9:30 am  128 KLAS Teen Kids News    1
8/11 12:00 am 19 LV1   Teen Kids News    -

Both wre scheduled to record and at 9:30 both did record. However,
only one entry was added to oldrecorded:

mysql> select recordid,chanid,station,programid,title from oldrecorded where title = 'Teen Kids News';
+----------+--------+---------+--------------+----------------+
| recordid | chanid | station | programid    | title          |
+----------+--------+---------+--------------+----------------+
|     1329 |   2128 | KLAS    | EP5987610168 | Teen Kids News |
+----------+--------+---------+--------------+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

There need to two entries to track that this has recorded on
both 8 and 128. Presumably another showing on 8 would re-record
becuase there is no 1328/1008/KLAS/EP5987610168/Teen Kids News
entry. So, I stopped both recording then restarted to MBE. I
expected that the 128/KLAS would be marked as rsRecorded and
the 8/KLAS would reactivate because there is no matching
oldrecorded entry but they were both marked "R". [I now realize
that there was a 'recorded' entry which is why it was "R". I'll
have to try this again later.]
