Makes sense...   my concern, however, is that if I delete the show, and
then something goes wrong with the new recording, I won't have either
one hanging around.  (in my case, I've recently bumped up my encoding
quality, and want to replace all of my current shows with better quality
recordings)  I don't mind having duplicate shows sitting around (that's
what I would figure "record duplicates" allows me to do), since I can
just go in and delete things I don't want.
