This is actually the sticky point...  What you've simplified as, 
"whatever," is something that can't be determined.  If, for example, the 
user selected a daily timeslot recording, it makes a difference whether 
he/she sets the rule by selecting a program that matches a weekday 
(which would only record on Mon-Friday) or a weekend (which would record 
on Sun-Sat) showing.

Why would it make a difference whether the source is DVB or analog?

Anyway, now that we all know what it means, is it really so hard to go 
in to manual recordings if you want to create a new rule?  Only you know 
whether you need another new rule (because only you know what you want 
to re-record--which is determined by what options you select for the 
rule) and "forcing" the user to create a rule or cancel out when they 
already have a rule that works would be no more intuitive than the 
current situation (probably less so, even).
