Yeah, though it would be nice if the system tagged that the choice was put into oldrecordings because of a "don't record this" rather than a "I recorded this and deleted it". I've just built a "Suggestions" system for MythTV which trains on what you like based on the oldrecorded table, so heavy use for "I don't want this" will have a negative effect.
