On my 0.18 install I can go to Manage Recordings -> Previously Recorded
to get a list of past recordings. Hilighting one and selecting it (enter
or right-arrow) gives me the option of removing that specific episode or
removing all episodes of that title. I normally use a remote, but for
working with that list I usually just plug in a USB keyboard for a few
minutes because it's faster.
