I may be late to weigh in on the mythubuntu theme changes, but I still am
finding the tv recording font to be unnecessarily large for my setup. I
took some crappy phone pics to try and illustrate the problem.
tv recordings - font really large and cannot read full title often

on the other hand, for videos the font is much smaller and easy to read
everything

I realize these photos are terrible, but you can at least see the
difference in the font size. I would prefer the both be like the video
screens. I can provide resolution or other info on my setup if this might
be a bug or it is helpful.
