 This issue has become more apparent since the new LiveTV functionality and
 the ability to filter between regular and LiveTV recordings. I believe it
 could also cause some confusion amongst users. I assign this to cpinkham
 as I am not sure whose remit this falls under, and recording groups seems
 more specific than MythUI.

 Running SVN10424, if I enter the Watch Recordings list, and then filter
 the view to show only LiveTV recordings, I can readily delete them after
 watching/reviewing them. However, when I delete the last LiveTV recording,
 Watch Recordings displays the message "You Haven't Scheduled Any
 Recordings" which is not true at all. If I then switch the filter back to
 the default view, all regular recordings reappear as normal.

 Would it not make sense to update the message in this scenario to
 something more useful like "No recordings were found with the current
 filter. Please choose a different filter" if the current filter is
 obscuring other available recordings?

 I guess this needs to be checked against the other possible usages of the
 view filter feature to make it clear whether i) the filter returned an
 empty set of recordings; ii) there are no recordings on the system but
 rules exist; and iii) there are neither recordings nor rules on the
 system.

 Thanks,
 Nick
