Nice.
Is it right that the only way into "record the next show" is from
a scheduled recording having finished? Do you not need that also
if what is being watched live isn't a scheduled recording? Or are
you thinking that when watching a recording that was set up only
for live TV, there is no need to stop and start between shows?
Also I haven't yet understood how reserving a tuner minimizes
questions to the user.
Cheers,
Paul.
