You need to go to Watch Recordings, select the bad recording, and
MENU|Scheduling Options|Allow this program to re-record. If you do that
/in Watch Recordings/ (as opposed to selecting, "Allow this episode to
re-record," in "Previously Recorded"), MythTV will ignore not only the
recording history for that episode, but also the currently-recorded
episode. So, you can keep the bad recording just in case the network
decides not to re-run the episode.
