For many things I am only tracking the last few episodes. For others
they are being held for future viewing or reviewing. I catch all movies
and anything on Teachers TV as well as a few other custom searches.

If I was more serious in my TV watching I would not be concerned about
the space I use.

Nothing professional. If I can get enough space I hope to move all my
dvds on to it so I can have them always at my finger tips, that and
being able to put them in the attic so they stop taking up living room
space.
