Then you need to use the "normal" approach for finding new things with 
Myth--i.e. the "not seen" approach.  Myth keeps a list of every title 
it's seen in the last 11 months (so that even seasonal specials from a 
year ago are shown as "new").  You can ask it for any titles in the 
listings that haven't been seen "this year."

Manage Recordings|Schedule Recordings|Search Lists|New Titles

You might even be able to work up a custom record rule that uses it, 
too, but would have to do it with joins.
