Just to add a tidbit to my post - I understand it is the starting date for the rule (not the actual date the rule was created) that governs the behaviour, but MythWeb defaults the start date/time to the current date/time, so if you just change the time for the recording (e.g. if the rule wants to start today at the given time) and it happens to be Mon-Fri a user will see the differing behaviour. I realise I'm flogging a dead horse here, I just would like an extra option (just for manual recordings) to make this explicit.
