[typo] "rediction" = "redirection" of course ;-)<br>

If the frontend can show a message that all tuners are busy and it can
show that a program is currently being recorded in the Watch Recordings
screen why couldn't it just decide to skip all the intermediate steps
and immediately start showing the in-progress recording? If you really
really only want to do this when there is only one tuner available to
the backend wouldn't it be possible to make a way in which the frontend
can ask the backend for the number of tuners it has available?<br>

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.
Not suggesting we should go out and immediately change everything, just
curious if you would be happy with the scenario I just described.

You can't stop it, and the other bug's been fixed in CVS a long time ago.</pre>

Ok, the message in Watch TV suggests that by saying that you can
"cancel" a recording in the Delete Recording screen.<br>
My version from CVS is at most a week old, if that's a "long time ago"
okay, if not the bug is still there (actually I hit D from the Watch
Recordings screen).<br>
