Remember, also, that you can "train" MythTV to ignore the repeats that 
you don't want.  Basically, just set the episodes to "Never Record" if 
you've seen them or don't care to see them.  It's very easy to do 
through MythWeb, and I've found that--especially for those shows that 
show multiple showings per day (i.e. Simpsons)--it really only takes a 
few weeks to train the system (and, with almost 2 weeks of guide data, 
you can take care a huge chunk at a time).  So, using anytime on all 
channels is possible (all my recording schedules are set that way).

The big benefit of this approach is that you get a very complete 
database of what TV you've seen, and you don't miss any episodes (but 
you might get a few you've seen).
