At the moment, I use the MythLink script to generate a few "Views" on
my recorded programs:

By Title (One folder per show title, And then sorted by date)
By Genre (One folder per genre, then sorted by date)
By Date (Folder for Year, Then folder for Month, Then folder for day,
then sorted by time)
By Channel (Folder per channel, then listed in date-order).

I don't use the recording groups functionality (Though I could) as we
don't record that much, and when the Other Half doesn't like I can
watch and clear while she's at work.
