This is *also* within your control. Navigate to "Utilities/Setup",
"Setup", "TV Settings", "General" and go to the third page. Set the
check-box for "Re-record programs which have automagically expired".
It's too late for the stuff you've already lost, but there's another
menu page where you can erase the "already seen" records for episodes
manually.
I can understand why you're having problems finding these setup
options. MythTV is great software but the menu system is is hopelessly
disorganized. You should probably take some time to look everywhere in
the menus. You'll not be able to remember where everything is, but at
least you'll know that options exist so you can search for them when
you need them.
I agree about the menu system. It might make sense to revamp this at some
point or have a shadow set of menus where the settings for everything is
reorganized into a more memorable layout. Too bad we can't have something
like a tree control expansion so we could at least see the true hierarchy
