 Replying to [comment:9 kormoc]:
 > That's the thing, they're showing two different sets of data. One is
 showing the schedules and one is showing the upcoming programs to be
 recorded. One is time centric and one is program/title centric.

 As the one person who has reported this issue in the past five years, the
 above sentence compels me to respond.

 The relevant portions of mythfrontend and MythWeb are both titled Upcoming
 Recordings. Each, of course, looks and behaves slightly differently from
 the other, but only in ways that a Qt graphical application must differ
 from an Ajax/PHP application. They offer the same information and permit
 the same actions. In practice, users treat them as exactly synonymous,
 with no need on their part to ever think of the nonsensical difference
 between "time centric" and "program/title centric."

 I admit that the usage case I raised is unusual, but that rarity is
 exactly why the inconsistency between the two applications--that otherwise
 behave, and are used, in exactly the same way--should be eliminated.

 As I pointed out in the ticket, Backend Status (of all places) offers a
 model of offering the most relevant information for the usage case. But if
 all the data can't be displayed in the two Upcoming Recordings so
 comprehensively, I do hope that MythWeb will be adjusted to agree with
 mythfrontend, and not vice versa.
