</div>Well, last night, the kids were watching an easter special ripped from DVD,<br>
so that's in Videos. At 8:15, Mom says "OK kids, come up for a bath, you can<br>
watch the rest afterwards".<br>
<br>
Dad goes to watch the episode of "House" that started recording 15 minutes<br>
earlier, so we bounce up from "Videos" to TV -- Recordings, not Live, even<br>
though it's on now.<br>
<br>
Oh, it's a not too great repeat I've already seen. Delete.</blockquote><div><br>What's your myth box doing recording stuff you've already seen? :p.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hmm, what's on TV<br>
now then. Switch from Recordings to "Live TV" to bring up the guide. Nothing<br>
good. I'm in the mood for Home Improvement. But wait - do I want a<br>
first-sason episode from DVD (Videos) or 3rd season recorded off late-night<br>
CBS (Recordings).<br>

I thought this is supposed to be a Mythical Convergance box ! :-)</blockquote><div><br> I see what you're saying, but for me the stuff in "videos" and the stuff in "recordings" is very different (sorry, live TV never gets used). Recordings are transient, usually deleted as soon as they are watched. "Videos" are permanent, or at least until I buy the DVD. I really would not want the two combined. Especially as videos conveniently does not have a delete option like recordings does.<br>
<br>As for having mythtv ignore stuff you have on DVD, shouldn't be that difficult to write a script to automate some "Never Record" settings.<br></div></div><br>
