[mythtv] Feature suggestions/requests

Some feature that I think would make myth more usable.

1. "Record Keeping __ number of episodes" in the
record options, so that I dont get 7 episodes a week
for daily shows that I dont care if I miss a few of.
(ReplayTV has always had this and its very helpful for
keeping the HD from filling up)

2. The conflict resolution setup is really awful. I
would much prefer to see a priority based system where
programs can be given a priority rating, Allowing
mythtv for make its own decision about what to record
or not record. In addition, the ability for mythtv to
decide which airing of a program to record for things
that appear repeatedly would be nice, but is not a big
deal.

3. New episodes versus repeats. what happens to that
(Repeat) that appears on Zap2it and every other TV
Listing I've ever seen? To be able to know which
programs are new and which are repeats would be a
great help. In addition, to be able to say "Record all
new episodes on this channel" would be a big
timesaver."

I think you really need something with pulldown and
one sentence on that record screen, for example:

Record *this showing* on *this channel* on *this day
and time* keeping *all* showings at priorty *10*

or

Record *all showings* on *any channel* on *any day and
time* keeping *5* showings at priority *1*

or

Record *all new showings* on *this channel* on *this
day and time* keeping *all* showings at priority *10*

etc etc etc.

Keep up the great work.
