[mythtv-users] Am I on crack

[Ed Brandon]

I don't see this as too elaborate either, the program guide already knows
what has been recorded and what is going to be recorded, it just needs to
play the show if you select it and some backend already has or currently is
being recorded. I just think it would be a better optimization of tuner
access across multiple slave BE's.

I don't think it's all that elaborate. If anything it feels less elaborate
than the current system of jumping from live TV to recordings to Videos.

"Live TV" becomes just a type of recording. Watching "Live TV" is watching
something that is currently recording, starting it if necessary.

The Guide adds an index into recordings.

The benefit is not having to jump from menu to menu.

And look -- someone just started a new thread "Tuning LiveTV to a show
currently being recorded" . So evidently someone else has the idea, and
didn't think to look for it in a discussion about being on crack.
