Comment (by perkins1724@…):

 Thanks Peter for the patch. I have applied and it works well for me.

 Two notes:
 - The first two checks I had on starttime / endtime were on absolute
 values not raw values. This was to provide some pseudo symmetry in
 behaviour when browsing sufficiently far enough away from now in either
 direction - in particular that when far enough from now the menu popup
 with watch this channel did not appear. When using absolute values the
 check on endtime caught programs that had a long duration (ie starttime
 was a large time away from now) but had just finished (endtime close to
 now). Your patch still shows 'Watch This Channel' when browsing large
 distances in the past.
 - If in future patch you enable a -1 type value to SelChangeRecThreshold
 that causes it to always go to livetv it might be good (if possible /
 practical) to also add a -2 type value to never go to livetv to address
 the concerns from Roger / comment:3.

 The patch works well for me, have applied and will use. Thankyou greatly
 for drafting this up!
