Note how the recording option says "title," not "series" (which, in
MythTV parlance, is anything--movie, TV series, single TV special,
sports program-- with a unique series ID code). If you want to record
a specific movie that shares its name with a TV series, your best bet
is to (E)dit a new custom recording rule and add a "Match this series"
clause to the rule.
