Actually, I did use the "soft" one. I shouldn't have said "to my scheduled
recordings". I used the global setting in the "general (advanced)" settings.
The description for these says they're ignored if two shows are scheduled
without enough time inbetween.
Of course, I have no idea if this was the cause of the show not being
recorded. All I know is that the day before it showed up as "scheduled",
but the day after it turned out it hadn't been recorded.
