[mythtv] Previously recorded programs question

[James Knight]

The way I'd like to see this work is to always show all instances of 
the show in the conflict-resolution screen, but default repeats to 
disabled. I also want to be able to disable any given showing of a 
show, even if it doesn't conflict with anything else, because I know I 
don't want to see it ahead of time.

Basically, you should always be able to enable/disable any showing 
manually no matter what the scheduler thinks is right.


Additionally, it's probably not a good idea to have a completely hidden 
table of shows you've ever recorded that stays around forever. That 
kind of thing will cause problems if you have a Mythbox for a couple 
years...who knows what's in that table by then. It either needs to have 
a UI (but that'd be kinda gross), or just be based on what recordings 
you currently have (no matter how old) and maybe the last month of 
shows that were recorded.
