Whats a repeat for you may not be for someone else, it depends on when
you installed your myth system, what seasons you have on DVD, etc. The
completist may want everything, even old episodes.

Easier to record everything and delete what you don't want than to
record too little.

As for missed season premieres, I feel this is a legitimate use of
bittorrent etc. You talk to friends, they tell you about a fantastic
new programme you missed and you download the first episode, then
record the rest (if you like it of course).

Of course you can get myth to record every premiere - theres a feature
for that, but again it may depend on info we don't have in our
databases.
