I used to like the way T4 would put T4: [show] at the start. That way,
you could figure out what you wanted to watch. It would be good if Big
Breakfast and such did that.

No, that's a truely utterly horrible thing to do. When searching by
showname in my PVR, if I want to find, for example, Friends, some non-T4
epsiodes are under F, others are under T. And the whole T section of my
PVR menu grows very big and unbalanced. Sometimes the same episode is
shown with both names, and it will record it twice thinking they are
different programs.
Still, better than one big T4 program? If they *have* to keep their T4
brand visible, then I think it's better chopped up than one big show.
What would work quite well is if the unique episode number with series
name was carried in a separate field.
So you'd have displayed on the TV 'T4: Friends', and in the data stream,
also have 'friends,ep584933' or however - then PVR search would work
well, and if that was made standard across channels, we could really do
efficient series recording. But then defeats advertising etc etc... But
just a technical viewpoint.
