>From off the top of my head, Everything that is recorded gets put into a hash map using a string made up by concatenating the Title, Sub-Title, and Description. Every time we schedule a recording, we look in the hash map for a value using the string above as the key. If the hash map returns null then we assume it wasn't recorded, if it returns a key then we assume it was already recorded.
Chances are a Soap Opera will not record with duplicate detection enabled because it'll think every episode is the same episode. BUT you can turn on duplicate detection (and new episode detection) on a favorite by favorite basis. So, you can enable duplicate detection for all your favorites except the Soap Opera and everything should function normally.
