[mythtv] 2 suggestions re: scheduling recordings

[Piers Kittel]

Hello all,

There's 2 request for features that I know quite a lot of people would 
like to see in MythTV and I don't really think it should be too hard to 
implement hopefully:

1) Long term searches - maybe I want MythTV to record automatically few 
films that might come up any time in the future, but no idea when it 
will happen - for example, I might want to watch Shawshank Redemption, 
and by pure chance, it might crop up a year in the future so I would 
type it in the long term search area, and MythTV would run it against 
freshly downloaded TV listings, and if it finds something, it would 
record it?

2) Automatically records 2 parts of a film that's broken in between by 
something, usually news - it happens quite a lot in the UK, not sure 
about other countries - a film gets broken in the middle by a 30 min 
news clip, it would be nice if MythTV could automatically record the 2nd 
part as well, as I sometimes forget and find MythTV hasn't recorded the 
2nd part?

Thanks!

Cheers - Piers
