Off the top of my head, here are the things I believe would need to be
addressed.

In AddNewRecords(), there is code which ignores candidate recordings
if that program is already being recorded.  That code would need to be
changed to do the right thing for chanid and non-chanid rules.

Also in AddNewRecords(), the oldrecstatus JOIN would need to be
changed to match on chanid instead of callsign.

The code which sets oldrecorded.reactivate would need to be changed to
do the right thing for chanid and non-chanid rules -- set only the
entry for the specific chanid for a chanid rule or set all chanids for
a non-chanid rule.

In the Previously Recorded screen, there might need to be two
variations of the "Remove this episode" action -- one to remove only
that chanid and another to remove all chanids.
