That patch is perhaps not trivial as there might be timing issues
involved when switching shows (this is already a problem), but
setting the time limit with hour resolution is probably a lot easier.
Reserving space is not good as Myth just might need that space
at a time when it is not needed for other projects.
And I completely agree with the idea of being able to save a complete
show by pressing record, but is there any use for the older LiveTV recordings
?
