[mythtv-users] Feature Request: Max number of recordings of a show per day

It would be nice if in addition to a maximum number of episodes to be
stored there were a way to set the maximum number of episodes of a show
to be recorded in a day.  The reason I suggest that is that on a normal
day Law and Order is only on about twice but if they have a marathon and
show a bunch more episodes the normal retention policy causes all but
the last 2 not to be kept, but all the episodes get recorded unless
something with higher priority is on inbetween.  The result is that
things that normally would get recorded don't and from the end user's
point of view only 2 episodes of Law and Order got recorded.  I realize
this can all be fixed by knowing ahead of time and tweaking the settings
in MythWeb or in mythfrontend but it would be nice not to have to.
