Brilliant idea.<br>
One usability thing: I'd go batty if I had to delete programs manually<br>
from every group.<br>
Perhaps deleting from All Programs could be allowed, and that deletes<br>
the program from every group?<br>
Probably ought to show the groups a program is in when the confirm<br>
dialog appears.<br>
<br>
The private recordings feature sounds completely separate. You'll have<br>
an easier time doing the first bit if you worry about the second one<br>
later :)<br>

A recording could have many labels applied; static labels like based on the recording like HD/SD or series/sports/movie, and custom user supplied labels like "Dad's Favorite") etc). One could filter recordings based on labels rather than storage group. You could have predefined filters for most of your viewing (Mom's shows, Dad's Shows, Kid's Shows, etc.) that you choose from when opening the "watch recordings" screen.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Labels could be made easy to toggle, perhaps by assigning them each a 2 digit number that you could type in from the watch recording screen?</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, labels would be easier to implement. The existing recording groups could remain intact and functional... a label compatible theme would simply ignore the recording groups when displaying recordings and instead use labels to filter the entire library.</div>
