Using what you already have is fine as long as you realize there is  
going to be a LOT of MySQL activity. Make sure you have the bandwidth  
(network/disk/processor) to deal with a new heavy load on the MySQL  
server.

For instance:
mysql> select count(*) from recorded; #Number of programs recorded
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|      763 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select count(*) from recordedseek; #Number of entries in seek  
table
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|  3619321 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
