So, just to add a couple more of my pennies into the pool -- I hate
having to switch between views to see a TV series. take "Burn Notice"
for example - I have 2 seasons on DVD and a bunch recorded, When I should
want to watch (or my someone else visiting) some of the series, they(I) 
don't really care how it was stored on my server -- they(I) just want to
see the next episode.  And when I am trying to "fill-in" missed episodes,
I really don't need the ones I have recorded, re-recorded.  A unified 
scheme would fit me better...  But as said before, and I totally agree
with - I'll take what the nice developers give me, and be happy with it.
