If you want, you can try the attached patch.  It's something I added to 
my tree but I haven't had a chance to get it tested too much.  I hope to
get it in CVS this week sometime.  It turns the "Record Duplicates" checkbox
into a combobox with 3 options:

	* Never record duplicates
	* Record only if previous instance was deleted
	* Always record dups (this is what you're looking for).

You need to apply it in the mythtv/libs/libmythtv directory.  It just
updates scheduledrecording.cpp.
