Ah -- that must be because you have the whole series set to record. So, Myth 
found that the show's old channel/starting time event was deleted, but 
there's a new channel/starting time event, so it got start.

So, if you have the whole series flagged to be recorded -- you're ok, but if 
you scheduled only a single show to be recorded, it would likely get 
dropped.
