Using recording-groups helps quite a bit.  Once you categorize your
recordings into groups, you can switch between groups using the REW
and FF keys on your remote.

When you schedule new recording, you have the option of specifying
which recording group it should go into.  With current recording, you
can go into storage options and change the recording group.

MythCenter-wide (for example) shows which recording group is being
display, above the list of shows.  Any theme can show that
information, and if the one you like does not, you could probably hack
it so that it does (if you care).
