[mythtv] Search and schedule future program

[Joel Feenstra]

The basics are there if you look for my movie filter patch. It has hard 
coded options, but it would be possible to change them to more 
configurable. Do a search on the list for it. It basically modifies the 
program finder to allow for more narrow sql queries. It wouldn't allow 
automatic recording, but it could work if a popup menu allowed you to 
enter the search terms which would then narrow the shows that are shown 
in the program finder.

I currently use it to narrow it down to movies, and shows, and all programs.
