Play around with "~", from the manual:

File:      
     The name under which a recording created through this timer will
     be stored on disk (the actual name will also contain the date and
     time, so it is possible to have a "repeating timer" store all its
     recordings under the same name; they will be distinguishable by
     their date and time).
     If the file name contains the special character '~', the recording
     will be stored in a hierarchical directory structure. For instance,
     a file name of "Sci-Fi~Star Trek~Voyager" will result in a directory
     structure "/video/Sci-Fi/Star_Trek/Voyager". The '~' character has
     been chosen for this since the file system's directory delimiter '/'
     may be part of a regular programme name.
     Repeating timers create recordings that contain the 'Episode name'
     information from the EPG data in their file name. Typically (on tv
     stations that care about their viewers) this contains the episode
     title of a series. The episode name is appended to the timer's file name,
     separated by a '~' character, so that it results in all recordings
     of this timer being collected in a common subdirectory.
     If this field is left blank, the channel name will be used to form
     the name of the recording.

Cheers :-)
Dennis
