I have to agree... that is one of the first things I have to dig for
because the default makes no sense.  "All Programs" should mean ALL
PROGRAMS... if I choose to filter it to "Sports Programs" then I should see
no reference to "All Programs" anymore.

I think a sane default would be to have the filtered list heading be the
name of the filter... and be done with it... anything else can cause user
confusion.  For example, when I set up my new primary frontend, my wife
freaked out... and I do mean FREAKED OUT when she couldn't find her
favorite shows under "All Programs", I told her to press FFwd to switch
filters and all was good.  But her exact response was "that's stupid... it
says 'All Programs' it should show all of them!"
