Any thoughts on the following?

1. Can the VChip signal be decoded in any way? It would be nice to 
password protect shows based on the rating. The other option is to use 
the rating from the guide information. The other thing that could be 
done if the vchip signal is sent and is only present during the show is 
to use it for commercial detection.

2. Decode the closed captioning to a file and have the transcoder 
'bleep' out certain words in a list that are found in the shows captioning.

3. I could really use a 'Wish list' or 'Future show' recording option to 
enter show titles that are not currently playing and have them 
auto-record when they show up in the guide. I know there have been posts 
on hacks using the database or manual recording. It seems like it would 
be simple to have a 'manual recording' like interface where you just put 
in the show title and set it to record and have the mythfilldatabase 
schedule it when it shows up in the guide download.
