Can I just mediate here for a second on the Watched/Not Watched playlist debate.
If I am not mistaken there is the ability to generate a rule in Smart Playlists to not repeat a watched episode if it has been watched in a certain time period. that way the playlist would not entirely remove a watched episode, but remove it for a set time period. So say you have a "cartoon" channel. You can leave it on for a while and not repeat an episode .. maybe start it again and not repeat an episode, but 2-3 weeks from now, it may bring back an episode you have seen before ... just like real TV.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I do understand that in Sranshaft's case this is not what he wants, but for the many readers out there, there is a middle ground.
