I have to say.  I love this idea (and having coded some of the 
inactivation feature, I never thought about doing this).  I just set up 
similar rules for MLB titled (for preseason and regular) program with 
"Cubs" in the subtitle and inactivated it so I can override as needed to 
record games on weekends that I'm home and would like to watch.
