I agree with this about Movies, but I would like a way to put shows into 
the recording screen that are not really recorded.  I very rarely want 
to keep episodes of shows once I have watched them and the recorded 
programs screen has great interfaces for deleting and managing that the 
videos screen does not.

It would be wonderful if you could drop files into the recordings folder 
and have myth work with them in the recordings screen.
