One of the things that has been a problem with DVRs is trying to keep track of who's seen what recorded shows so that we don't delete a show before everyone in the household has had a chance to record them.
I'd like a feature to add users, let users put a show in their play list, then when say my wife and I both want to watch an episode of "Criminal Minds", when I'm done, I can choose delete (once you add the delete feature), it won't delete it until she also chooses delete.
