The TV Guide will let you Play a recording that's currently in progress. How about letting you play a recording that just completed?
for a real-life example, yesterday I was in the TV Guide and noticed House was recording; I made mental note to watch it a soon as I was done watching another program live... by the time I was ready to watch it though, the recording was finished so I couldn't play it from the TV Guide any more.
It struck me that it would be very cool, convenient and intuitive if the TV Guide knew which shows during the past few hours were recorded, and would allow you to play them from there (just the same as it will let you play an in-progress recording). Pick a new color to mark completed shows, perhaps green? (I thought blue at first, but I know that's already used to mark future 'shows of interest'.. EWA uses green, so that'd be consistent)
