Which is why there's a sort-by-original-airdate option for the Watch<br>
Recordings screen. Assuming you have good listings data (I know that<br>
Schedules Direct does, FWIW), it works great.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>I realize you can sort them, but you still have the issue of scrolling a lot of episodes and remembering which one you watched already. This really isn't a big deal. There is a setting in TV Settings -> Playback (page 6) under the watch list settings for the number of days to exclude and episode. It won't let you set it below 1 day. It would nice if the defaulted to 0. At a minimum it should be allowed to be set to 0. However, the only way to set it to 0 is by going in and doing it manually. I am know there are lots of ways of doing things for all of our differing methods of using mythtv. This seems to seems to bea case where a simple adjustment could accommodate a lot of users.<br>
