 I'm very close to just implementing this specifically for mythweb, but
 since I see it as a valid feature for mythfrontend, I'd like to work with
 whoever is in charge of this to come up with a solution that everyone can
 use...

 My !DishNetwork controller has the ability to create up to 4 channel
 groups, plus the default "all" group.  I'd like something like this for
 mythtv, so I can segment off groups of channels I may not often want to
 watch or see in listings (say, all of the sports channels), but don't want
 to just ignore come time for the X-games, olympics, etc.  Same goes with
 news channels, etc.  It shouldn't be too hard to expand the current
 single-option favorites into a set of named favorite channel groups.  As
 long as a standard is agreed upon, even if not implemented within the
 frontend for awhile, I can at implement it (and an editor for it) within
 mythweb, which is the only place I ever use the program guide.
