Or, how about, "All Recordings".

"All Programs" = "All Recordings" + "LiveTV"

I actually use recording groups to /allow/ me to filter by what I want 
to watch, but I have the PlaybackBox default to showing "All 
Recordings."  That way, I can see what's been recently recorded, so I 
can watch those recent episodes of Lost or Surface immediately.  But, if 
I'm in the mood for a Movie or a Half-hour Sitcom, I can filter the list.

So, instead of forcing the user to set a checkbox in settings (and 
adding another setting), we could just have two virtual recording 
groups, "All Programs" and "All Recordings."
