Hmmm, I must say this makes sense for a multi-tuner system, but why the
rediction to the Watch Recording screen when you have only one tuner?<br>
<br>
A possible scenario could be:<br>
<br>
- I am watching a program<br>
- I have to leave so I hit 'r' (the OSD could pop up for a moment
showing "recording...") [*]<br>
- Trying to change the channel should now warn me that a recording is
in progress<br>
- Hitting escape gets me back to the menu<br>
- Selecting Watch TV again should just get me back to the program I was
watching (the OSD could again pop up for a moment showing
"recording...")<br>
<br>
And even for a multi-tuner system it seems quite logiacl that selecting
Watch TV would just show me the image of the last tuner I watched
before. If I want to see the image of one of the other tuners I can
still go to the Watch Recordings page.<br>
<br>
Not suggesting we should go out and immediately change everything, just
curious if you would be happy with the scenario I just described.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

[*] - Maybe it already does give feedback, hitting R doesn't seem to do
anything right now for me.<br>
<br>
PS: Isn't it possible to Stop an in-progress recording? If I go to the
Delete Recordings I can only delete it or leave it recording (in fact
even after deleting it continues recording? Is/was that a known bug?)<br>

<pre wrap="">My two cents:
Switching to a currently-recording feed without any feedback might mislead
the forgetful user, who would likely then try to change channels, which
would have to be prevented or the recording would be ruined.
I think the idea of joining a recording in process is a good one, but that
there should be a message and the possibility of selecting the currently
active recording, if appropriate. It would be a nice way around navigating
to the recordings area.

I'll accept a patch that makes it pop up the message and give an additional
option to the user that makes it go to the watch recordings screen.
