We've talked about adding an option to allow something like this but it will
probably wait until we make the rest of the recording more flexible as well
with things like per-episode suppress/unsuppress, etc..

For now you can do what I did and setup a cron to run a sql command like this:

update program
    set starttime = starttime,
        description = subtitle
    where chanid = 1031
        and title = "Monster Garage"
        and description = '';

That fixes up Monster Garage for me so it doesn't record every episode
3 times.  :)
