ARGH ! Yea I hate that, I'll start watching a movie Live, hit pause to 
go do something and come back maybe half an hour later, and unpause, 
then when the ad's come on, I -instinctively- hit the channel up key to 
channel surf forgetting that I've got 1/2 an hour of delayed TV in the 
buffer .. DOH, there goes the movie.

What would be best is if you have any amount larger than say a minute in 
the buffer and you hit a key that will effectively kill the buffer 
(change channel, escape) MythTV has GOT to prompt you for confirmation 
-- "You will lose x minutes of TV in the buffer, are you sure ?"
