Actually, that sounds like it'd be really useful, and stop most of the
WAF reducing events.  It shouldn't be that hard to write either.

The only problem I can see is that I have a number of schedules that are
set to "record this whenever" and when the new season starts (like
Heroes) it just starts being recorded.  So the monitoring script would
have to keep a bit of state so it can track what is currently being
recorded.

Cheers!
