[mythtv-users] Buffer Dump to Recordings

[anders smith]

That would be a killer feature, I often find myself wishing that I had
recorded something half way through a show.....
.... quite a wow when you demo the box as well.
I´m not endowed with programming skills, but do interaction design and would
love to help implement it and will cross my fingers
that it will be come an itch for someone who can implement it....... ;-)
