This is a 2-part question:
1) What is special about recorded TV shows that prevents the Tag option from showing up for the items in the recordings list?
I looked through the tags for a files recording within MC and a recording that was imported from Windows Media Center. Other than the file type (.ts vs .wtv) there aren't any differences I see that should matter. "Playback Info" was the only one that was a potentially important difference, but setting the value in the .wtv file to match the file that was recorded by MC didn't change anything.
I also took a look at my Theater View rules for the view I use for MC recordings vs WMC recordings and there's nothing special there - they're both filtering on Media Sub Type = "TV Show" and a folder location. Recordings from MC also have other different options, such as "Exempt from Auto Cleanup".
What triggers these differences and is it possible to add the Tag option to TV recordings that were made by MC? This leads to the 2nd part of the question...
2) I'd like to add an Archive field that I can use to flag TV recordings that I'd like to save to watch again later, but not have in my main Recordings view (I would add an "Archived Recordings" view for these. Is there a way to configure a library field to be a checkbox, radio button, or other type of field in the Theater View tag editor? I saw an old thread that seemed to be suggesting it should be possible to have a checkbox if the library field is configured with the checkbox option:
