I didn't think so; my point here is that mythtv-setup is something you tend
to do once and then forget for the next year (or so). It could benefit from
better wording in some places - I see there is an effort in the roadmap to
drop it completely and replace it with some web configuration.

I would mildly disagree here - a common user finds the whole experience very
confusing, compared to known "alternatives" - not naming names. But my aim
here is not to start a flamewar.

What could be done - and I could possibly volunteer some time to that - is
that someone goes through the exact set of screens for mythtv setup as a QA
and rephrase some things left and right. With regards to the algorithm, I'm
a programmer also and it figured out at the end. But I had to revisit the
configuration twice; I did it initially and left it running for a couple of
days, only to find out that some shows (not all) were being cropped at the
beginning.
