See the example clauses "Only on a specific station" or "Exclude one 
station" or "Match related callsigns" or "Only channels from the 
Favorites group" or "Only channels from a specific video source" in the 
frontend Power Recording Rule editor.  The favorites group example may 
be a good way of specifying a list of channels that you can easily 
update without changing/editing the rule (just change "Favorites" to the 
name of the group you use).

Note, also, you may want/need to use parentheses to group together your 
conditions.
