That's good to know, just last night I was wondering if there was/would 
be such a feature in MythTV, not because off Tivo (never used or even 
seen one..), just while I was trying to watch a program and kept having 
to pause it (phone calls etc) and it got to time for a scheduled 
recording on the same channel (Sky One Nip/Tuck follows on from Hex - 
only got one tuner in the box), I thought "wouldn't it be good if you 
could save the buffer as a recording"

I've not tried the SVN versions yet, would it be a bad idea installed 
SVN code over an already installed system, built following Jarod's 
excellent How-To on FC4?
Or maybe I should just wait for the next main release.
