Oh, I completely agree with you--in spite of my long response--that the
terminology isn't easy for a new user to understand.  The OC side of me
just has a hard time with the idea of making it less accurate regardless
of the purpose or the results.  I can't really think of any name that's
both accurate and easy to understand so--were it my decision--I'd just
leave it the same.

I wonder, too, if the only reason that the term, "Season Pass" is easy
to understand is because TiVo drilled the term and its meaning into our
heads in their advertising campaign.  Perhaps this is just a job for the
marketing/sales folks.  :)
