[Feature Request] [DVR] Create recording for program not in EPG

Allow the search to provide a match a user can select for recording regardless of that programs pressence in the EPG. Use case: New series to premier in the fall but it’s still the spring. Since I saw the trailer today I want to create a schedule for when it airs. Then I don’t have to keep tracking the news to find the premier date and create a calendar event to create the schedule.
