I don't know MythTV well enough yet to go messing with the GUI, though, and a 
filter selection screen could be very complex (consider that filters may be 
used twice in a chain, etc).  Until somebody has time to do this messy work, 
some docs on how to specify filters would probably be very helpful, and 
shouldn't take long to write.  Don't forget, mythweb also allows you to edit 
channel filters, and you can specify a filter string for playback, so there 
are some easy ways to enter filter strings, but no documentation at all on 
how to construct a valid fiter string.
