Yeah. Basically with yours you can do the same as:
ls /path/to/view/directory | awk '{split($0,a,"-"); print a[1]}' | sort
--unique
with a simple:
ls /path/to/view
which is much easier to type (and remember ;). I guess there's always:
mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg -e 'select distinct(title) from recorded'
