>> I am pretty sure that if the recording is marked as bad, Myth will re-record the program next time it appears. Not sure if it then deletes the original, or even how to manually mark a recording as bad, maybe one of the dev's can advise a way to do this.

Unfortunately it's per-show only, meaning you can't use it with playlists, so it gets tedious issuing it for several dozen recordings. If one could whip up a keyboard macro then it might also be a good approach.
The beauty is, that everything you do in the menu can be accomplished
by editing the database. I don't know what exactly "allow this
episode to rerecord" does... but there is no doubt in my mind that you
could reproduce this in scale with a few lines of SQL.
