[mythtv-users] Show keeps being rescheduled for a later showing??????

[cmisip]

I think there is a bug in Schedule Recording Screen if you are not using
the Advanced Recording.  There is no entry for Find One other recording.
When you click "Record this program in this timeslot every week", you
actually activate "Find one recording of this program".  To fix this,
always use the advanced recording screen.
