In theory, if detailed description and episode info is missing, the 
episode should be marked as a generic (defined as any show whose program 
ID, subtitle, and description are empty; or whose program ID is empty 
and category type is series; or (for Schedules Direct users) whose 
program ID ends with '0000').  If so, generics are always set to record, 
regardless of duplicate matching options, since we cannot know if the 
episode has been recorded in the past (since we don't know which episode 
is airing).  The only way generic episodes aren't recorded is if your 
recording rule explicitly specifies the exclude generics filter.
