Ok, I'll bite..
I assume this idea for recorded program structure might have been considered at one point:
Instead of individual program recordings, store a single recording per channel, with individual program recordings being pointers into this per-channel recording. Not necessarily a continuous 24h recording, only the actual periods for which a recording has been requested, but still in a single recording.
This would make it much easier eg. to continue playback of something, when a recorded program ends, and there's another program scheduled after, that you also recorded.
It could also allow 'browsing back in time' eg viewing the EPG for yesterday, with a recording symbol next to the programs that were actually recorded.
Also, it would avoid data duplication. An 'export to file' function could of course be available.
