I don't like the filter aspect of the recording group.  It's a WAF 
thing.  By filtering to a recgroup it would make it more difficult for 
her/kids to get back to the view they are expecting to see if I forget 
to change it back.  Ultimately I think it'd be nice to have a 
title/cateogry/recgroup option for the screen that could be toggled so 
you can either view shows by title, category, or recording group where 
the title list is now.  Such a thing would be much more involved so this 
is my compromise to myself for now :)
