Rev 274 sets autoexpire=1 in the recorded table. There is currently no
support for avoiding duplicate downloads. Specifically, mythnettv uses
its own algorithm for determining what to download, and does not consult
the MythTV recordings table as part of that process.

It would be quite hard to avoid duplicates in this way -- titles don't
match character for character, so how do you determine what is a
duplicate without involving a human?
