in regards to browsing recorded programs,
i agree the current listing is combersome...
have you taken a look at the music library view in xbmc? it is a music database view that could possibly be applied to mythtv. i would assume show title, and record date are available. perhaps channel/network information is available as well. using this branching query system allows alot of expandability. i'll illustrate it below...
at the top of each catagory would be an option for 'all shows' so for example i wanted all shows recorded in april 05 i would go
->date ->05 ->april ->all shows
or all shows on channel 4
->network->chan04 ->all shows
it allows the end user to be as specific or general as they want their query to be. since myth runs a mysql db it should be easy to generate the queries
