Manual recordings I do not need. What I like is to specify the channel, starttime and an overtime (or endtime).
I want to specify the channel, because several channels propose the same schedule for the same day, but some of them have commercials others not.
Although I could set priority, which I never used.

I like to specify an endtime, when I now recordings are back-to-back. And other recordings are running aside. I have three tuners.

Something like: -c <channel> -s 12.12.2006-14.00 -e +20
The +20 is plus 20 minutes or a date

Series I always will schedule using the frontend, because they will go into another group and I want to specify daily any channel/daily every channels/ and the number of recordings to keep.

I will have a look into tvwish when it gets available in the fixes branch.
