DVR Dupe Checking

Request: If a user tries to record a TV Series/Episode or Movie that already exists in another library, instead redirect them to the existing media and let them play it "On Demand".

Hi, yea it's not a bad idea. Could help save disk space.

Yeah my mom keeps recording stuff that I've already got, and from better sources than LiveTV.. I've got a rather large library and it'd be cumbersome to go check manually first or try to remember what's available.. If instead of recording she was presented with "You can watch this now, or put this in your watch next list" I think it'd be alot more user friendly to the generation from LiveTV that suffer from choice overload.. she mostly uses the channel guide for finding stuff to watch.
