Mostly because there is really no comprehensive RSS database to search like
with have for Schedules Direct.  You still have to hunt down and find the
feeds and even then, these aren't really "recordings" as they are downloads
so I have a hard time fitting them into the scheduler like you do with guide
data.  Certainly managing feeds is a thing that can be done well by Myth.  I
just don't see it as part of the guide but that may be just my vision...

Agreed, it is trivial to either import downloaded content to Watch
Recordings or extend Watch Recordings to include items from feeds.
