I made a modified version of this that scrapes tv.com for show information and 
then adds it to the Watch Recordings list. If this is something that people 
might want to play with let me know and I'll post it to the list. I've used 
it for adding a few shows so far and its great, the g/f asked about this 
cause I refuse to manage MythVideo for episodic stuff....
