No problem, clarification is good!

I figured I could do that, but does it affect the display in the 'Watch 
Recordings' screen? My WAF could be affected if it does. Essentially all 
of her shows are 1.00, and mine are 1.2, although I doubt she'd really 
notice if I changed hers to 1.2... :) I'll play with it a bit more tonight.

Thanks for the response!
