[mythtv-users] Newbie: A few questions

I can give you a couple of answers...Surely others can fill in the 
blanks. :)

Yes.  You can do this from "Manage" -> "Schedule Recordings" -> "Search 
Words" -> "Advanced"

On my Xbox install, it went to screenblanker when in menus, but playback 
automatically suspended DPMS/reenabled when you go back to menus.  Dunno 
if this is the true default, but it was the default on the xbox.

In the Watch Recordings page, hit the menu button (M I think - I just 
hit a button on my remote) it will pull up a menu from which you can 
choose "Show group list as recording groups"
