Filter support in mythweb is pretty basic (including the "This Channel"
filter). I created a patch to improve the filter functionality--now filters
from the Default profile will be used (and another patch so that filters
can also be used for custom and manual schedules). I played with this a
little bit and I can get it to display like you want, but something else is
going on with my mythweb that is zeroing out the channel when I edit and
save a "Any Time on Any Channel" schedule, so I need to track that down.
