that seems counter-intuitive to me. why would you ever want
to record a show to disk using the LiveTV profile? If you
wanted to do so, why wouldn't you create a recording profile
with those options?
It seemed to me that choosing "I'll watch during recording"
was simply a shortcut to going thru the steps of stopping
watching LiveTV and selecting the show under playback.
This really doesn't impact me much at this time because I
currently happen to use the same settings for "LiveTV" and
"default". Reason: my backend machine doesn't run a frontend,
so watching livetv or watching a recording while the same or
another is recording requires the same amount of cpu.
However, when the rest of the recording profile support is
completed, I'll always want a show to record at its configured
profile settings regardless of whether or not I happened to be
watching it when it started (otherwise I wouldn't have gone to
the effort to make those choices).
I know this is your baby, Isaac, but thought I'd share my view. :)
