Storing a permanent list really complicated things when user really did want to record a show they've recorded in the past. I would have needed to provide a way to clear out certain shows etc, which just seemed messy and would complicate the interface. It would probably also result in a lot of posts asking why a specific recording didnt occur, where people had recorded it previously and were aware this was the reason for this episode not scheduling.
