I agree with you there. If it could also ignore current recordings, that 
would be ideal for me. I sometimes end up with a recording that has the 
wrong episode information, so what was recorded isn't what was in the 
listings. I want to keep the "bad" episode,  but I also need to 
re-record the missing one. Currently, there's no easy way to do this, 
since the "bad" one gets treated as a duplicate of the rebroadcast.
