No, that's a truely utterly horrible thing to do. When searching by
showname in my PVR, if I want to find, for example, Friends, some non-T4
epsiodes are under F, others are under T. And the whole T section of my
PVR menu grows very big and unbalanced. Sometimes the same episode is
shown with both names, and it will record it twice thinking they are
different programs.

Could you list multiple overlapping shows? So CIN is a program that
starts at 7pm and finishes at 12pm. Then there is a Doctor Who (CIN
episode) that starts at 8:15 and goes to to 8:30. Just ignore the fact
that they overlap.

Omnibuses could have the individual episodes they are composed of listed
in the same way.
