Record series with no airings in the guide

[fazeaway]

It would be nice if there were a way to set a series to record if there are no current airings available in the EPG by querying theTVDB or something. Even if it isn’t 100% reliable that it will match up with the actual series once it airs it would likely be reliable enough to be incredibly useful.

[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.
