Or in other words, if you want to insert recording rules directly
into the database*, you need to tell the backend to reschedule so
that it can pick up the new rule and do the necessary for the program
to be recorded - rules evaluated, recordings scheduled & allocated to
tuners etc.
* Generally not the recommended method as you are then responsible
for spotting any schema changes in the future and updating your code.
