Yeah.  Pretty much.  Myth 0.19 stores info about what happens with 
recordings so it can take appropriate action.

Nope.  Only when "Myth goes out."  ;)

(To Myth, a 1-hour recordings of "Satellite Signal Not Available" looks 
right--and has no commercials!  Although, if you want that show, let me

though, Myth doesn't seem to detect duplicates for it. :)
