yes, my suggestion above would require using MythVideo for playback. 
i'm sure you can put it back in the /myth/tv directory but then you
end up having to monkey with the database to get your program to show
up in your menus.  i was too lazy to look into that solution. :)
i use the MythVideo method when i've screwed up a recording or my box
was out of commission (or when Comcast moves Sci-fi to digital only)
and i have to aquire the program through other means. ;)
