Feature request: Assign Show Names to Views

With the recent addition of "View" categories within the SageTV Recordings screen, Sage seems like just a half step away from being able to assign a specific TV series or individual show (or Favorite) to a specific View.
ReplayTV, and maybe others, have been doing this for years. It's a really useful feature and long overdue, IMO.

Why is this useful? For me, I could assign all my SciFi, automotive and other wife-unfriendly shows to the "Barry" View. I could assign shows we watch together to the "Barry & Michelle" View. Furthermore, I could create, for example, a "History" View that wouldn't rely on some vague "category" in the program guide to do the match-up.

Here's how the UI could work: When I select a show to record or set up a Favorite, I'd have the option to assign the show to one or more View categories. Once recorded, they'd show up under the designated view(s). Modifications could be done in a manner similar to using filters and categories in the "Recordings" screen.

To summarize, "filters" are OK, show "categories" are nearly useless, but "TV show/series names" would be ideal for mapping content to view categories.
