Well, last night, the kids were watching an easter special ripped from DVD, 
so that's in Videos. At 8:15, Mom says "OK kids, come up for a bath, you can 
watch the rest afterwards". 

Dad goes to watch the episode of "House" that started recording 15 minutes 
earlier, so we bounce up from "Videos" to TV -- Recordings, not Live, even 
though it's on now. 

Oh, it's a not too great repeat I've already seen. Delete. Hmm, what's on TV 
now then. Switch from Recordings to "Live TV" to bring up the guide. Nothing 
good. I'm in the mood for Home Improvement. But wait - do I want a 
first-sason episode from DVD (Videos) or 3rd season recorded off late-night 
CBS (Recordings).

I thought this is supposed to be a Mythical Convergance box ! :-)


This is an extension of some ideas I had back in October for combining TV, 
VIdeo, and Music into a single view:
(http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2007-October/200808.html)

o See episodes recorded OTA and from DVD in a single list.
o Not record episodes or movies I already own on DVD.
o Mix MP3 and music video files, with visualizations for non-video files
o See selections from a movies soundtrack album in the same place as the 
  movie.
o Catalog non-ripped DVDs, and when selected be given information as to 
  where the disk is stored. (which I know I would have to enter).
