7/5
* Account information screen under Settings. New devices are auto-added to the account. Not-found devices can be removed from the account.
* Support creating tasks without DVR access so you can track favorite shows (DVR access is required for the task to record).

SCRIBE and SERVIO automatically enable DVR access.
Customers who purchase DVR via the shop will still need to click the register link to create the first association. We are working towards eliminating this step.
