Are you using the Mythcenter-Wide theme?  That is my theme of choice, 
but I have modified it's recordings-ui.xml to address several points 
that bothered me.

The changes I made are commented in the modified file, so it should be 
easy for you to pick and choose the mods that you are interested in.

1)  removed transparent background fanart images.
2)  removed stock coverart thumbnail and replaced with preview thumbnail 
from actual recording.
3)  changed start and end times to reflect actual recording instead of 
scheduled start end times.
4)  changed scrolling to allow upward reverse wrap, A back to Z, in both 
windows

No other settings changes in Mythtv are required for these to work, you 
just need to replace the original recordings-ui.xml in Mythcenter-Wide 
1.7  with the modified recordings-ui.xml.  If you are using a different 
theme then all bets are off.

Note this file will probably get overwritten when updates are applied, 
so either keep a copy somewhere else.  Alternatively, you can duplicate 
the theme, rename it, select it in the Theme Chooser and it will never 
get overwritten (that was my approach).

If you would like a copy of my modified recordings-ui.xml contact me off 
list and I'll send it to anyone who is interested.
