Hard problem to solve.  There is no reason you can't import your TNG/SG1
episodes into Watch Recordings (plenty of scripts exist to do this) but you
also have to match the title/subtitle fairly exactly for Myth to be able to
know definitively that these are the same episodes.  You could guess at the
episode numbers with some accuracy using past recordings as an example but
again, it's a very manual process that would be hard to manage from the
10ft. interface.
