Well, if you don't like the fact that it requires a restart, you'll be 
happy to know that it doesn't require a restart...

You only have to force a reschedule.  You can do that by:

    a) restarting the backend
    b) waiting until the next time the scheduler runs
    c) changing your schedule (i.e. add or remove a recording rule)
    d) running "mythbackend --resched" (which can be run while the 
existing backend process is running)
    e) other ways that I haven't yet figured out...

So, basically, the devs did a great job of making the software work the 
way you want (so it doesn't require a restart).  Unfortunately, they 
can't make you read the docs to find out how it works.  ;)
