I am chilled :) I'm not complaining, or acting like a baby. My original email 
was in the form of a question - asking if the behaviour was expected. It was 
the prelude to opening a ticket.

The thread then developed into a discussion with Michael based on our various 
opinions of expected behaviour, and the available information. In this case a 
misunderstanding resulted from the quotation of Chris:

"I believe that 'R' in LiveTV just toggles whether a recording will be
 saved (by moving it out of the LiveTV group into the default
 recording group), I don't think it says "record the rest of this
 program" anymore)."

With confusion arising at 'anymore'. I presume that substituting the words 
'for now' or 'at the moment' would render a better description of the 
situation??

We know that the code is unfinished - but if we assumed every bug was just the 
result of unfinished code then nothing would get reported! ....
