Do you use recording groups? You can either set them manually, or I use some SQL[1] (that I am aware will need changing when 0.28 is released) to set them for me.

I use recording groups as a replacement for the title list, but they can also be navigated with TV Frontend/PAGELEFT and TV Frontend/PAGERIGHT. If you want, you can have a menu pop up when you enter the watch recordings screen; set “Always prompt for initial group filter” on page 5 of the TV Playback settings.

I understand that something like this is planned for 0.28.
