[mythtv-users] future episode and movie list

[James Armstrong]

I'll second that. I have had a Tivo for a few years and I will miss that
feature. You can add a 'Wish List' by Title, Keyword, Actor or Director.
Each wish can be set to 'auto record' or just show in the upcoming wish
list, then you can mark the ones you want to record. It is really nice
adding shows that have not come out yet or you remember part of the title. I
put in Touching Evil a few months before it came on when I first saw the
commercial. That is about the only major feature Myth lacks.

I wrote something like that for my mythtv setup.  I took an opposite
approach to solving the problem though.  You setup mythtv to record
the show, then block out episodes you don't want.  When things go
right, it's the same outcome as what you mention.  But when things go
wrong, you only end up with a show or two you didn't want--rather than
not getting a show you *did* want.
