New Marking watched/accuired etc.

I really like the update to the watched feature with the addition of the Acquired etc. May I suggest a next update to it by adding a combination "Watched/Acquired" line to the options. I find it a lot easier to tell that a show has been watched when viewing a episode listing with the new change.

With the new episode listing update you can now get a small menu that opens up with the choices, Unwatched, Watched, Acquired, Skipped. I think it would be good to add at least 1 more that says both Watched and Acquired such as "Watched/Acquired" for those who want to mark a episode both watched and as having the episode in their collection. This could be added in a future update.

Doesn't "Watched" always imply "Acquired"? You can't watch an episode without "acquiring" it, so when it's set to Watched it counts for both.

I get that some people with large media libraries would use this systeem to keep track of what they have. But i'd guess the amount of people wanting this feature is very limited. I'd like to hear others opinion.

I'm with David on this one. If you have watched an episodes, that mean you had it in away or another.

Not always, I do have a massive video library but there are also shows that I just watch when they air without recording or buying them. I am sure that others do as well. Just 1 example, Mysteries at the Museum, we watch all the episodes but do not buy them or record them. I will sometimes watch Law & Order but not enough to have copies, same with a lot of other shows. Also, I just wanted to make sure you are aware that the original post was not in any way intended as a complaint about the update, just a suggestion for a future update to it. Some other shows we watch but do not acquire are American Pickers, Face Off, Monumental Mysteries, Pawnography, Top Chef for my wife, and quite a few more.
