Thanks Mike

I cannot be bothered with all that just for basic TV programs. I'll just 
do as you say and move them to the videos after previewing them and 
watch them there. The database was totally nuked so Previously Recorded 
is empty too, all of these files are orphans in the most major sense. 
Most of them don't really matter and I can handle those that are pretty 
easily.

Oh, and I have to get myself a backup command to automatically put a 
backup somewhere else on the network. That or don't do Myth rebuilds 
when I haven't had enough sleep....
