In my case I don't think I could get away with much "any channel"
recording, as I have stations in the system for both the NY and Philly
market, but only record with the antenna facing NY.  Unless there's
something I'm not aware of, I don't think there's any way I can tell
it to avoid the Philly networks...so I use "this channel" all the
time.

By the way...what sort of things could potentially change channel
callsigns?  I'm guessing that a full scan with "rename to match"
maybe?
