In my mind, not having any data isn't a good thing here.  If I have myth 
recording reruns and such, it is going to treat a rerun with no 
description much differently than it is a rerun with a description.  
Following your example a bit, if you have Family Guy set to record one 
occurrance of each title, and each occurrance has no description, it's 
only going to see the first one as distinct, right?  Aren't the rest 
considered duplicates since they have the same title and description?

Sure when I update my listings for tomorrow, I might get the correct 
description, but what if I don't?  Does that mean I lose all but the 
first recording?
