I record *everything* in HD using my HD-3000 cards.  About once every two
months, one of my local stations or another will have a glitch in their HD
transmission.  When this happens I grab the corrupt episode using BT (I know
that BT is a four letter word).  For convience when managing the episodes it
would be nice to integrate the "BT" episode into the "recordings" section of
Myth.

With Mark's patch this is actually now doable.  Without it, saving
positions, etc, did not work with these "BT" episodes -- unless I transcoded
them.
