I thought a useful addition would be the option to mark programs in
the guide as 'Previously seen'. Essentially adding them to the

There are a large number of repeats on currently which have not
been previously recorded on the Myth box nor marked as reruns by
the listing provider. There are also many films which I saw
pre-myth. Marking them as recorded now will avoid me re-recording
and wasting scheduling time/space in the future.
Would anyone else appreciate this facility?
If something is scheduled you can mark it as Never Record which does
this. I'm not sure why you would need to mark something as never
record that you are not currently scheduled to record...
Because my Myth box has better long-term memory than I do. :)
Creating a one-time record rule, marking it "Never Record", and then
deleting the rule is way too much work. I like to add movies that
I've seen to the oldrecorded table just in case I forget when it airs
again in 2 years and set a record rule (or, if I'm thinking, so I can
run a quick query in 2 years to see whether I've seen it).
Is it the case then that you use alot of category recordings?
Otherwise, if you choose to schedule it for recording, I would think
either a) you wanted to see it or b) found it interesting enough to
check it out and if you find later you've seen it then you just
delete, with prejudice. I suppose if you had alot of category record
rules or other "automatic" catches it would make sense but it seems
fluff to me because you'll see those recordings ahead of time in
upcoming recordings and can remove them or you simply just never
choose to schedule them individually in the first place.
My movie recording rules aren't necessarily category recordings--most
are "find once" rules that I make when I see a description that sounds
interesting. However, if Myth told me I'd already seen a show, I won't
"get my hopes up only to be crushed by the realization that it's a
'repeat.'". ;)
Also, I even use the database in non-Myth situations. I.e. a friend
invites me over to watch movies and lists several DVD's from which we
can choose and wants to know which I've seen. A quick query tells me
what I need to know.
