Wow.  Someone who actually understands how to use a PVR.  Kudos for
doing news right (and not using LiveTV).

You're right that it does match the show's title in that timeslot and,
if that show does not air in that timeslot, it will not record. 
However, Myth is showing you the "missing" recording in order to alert
you that the show you said should appear at that time is not airing at
that time.
