Actually, I think it's slightly more complicated then you think.. It's
very easy for single recordings; but what about timeslot, weekly, all
the time recordings? You'd need a way to specify which recording to
override the scheduler on. (Assuming you allow for disabling as well as
re-enabling) The one way to make this "easy" I guess would be to
insert/remove entries from oldrecorded, but that obscures future
recordings as well, unless changed back after the time has past.
