Re: Can I disable pause live tv altogher?

[Andrew Herron <totallymaxed@xxxxxxxxx>]

My view is that it should behave as on other PVR's where if you change channel then the 'paused live recording' should be deleted. People are used to this behaviour. Pressing 'Stop' while in the live recording would take you back to 'Live' viewing. At anytime when you want to keep the current Live recording the user could just simply press 'Record' on the remote and this would add the recording to the 'Recordings' menu and therefore saving it for later viewing.

Again many PVR's work in a similar way to this and it would have very big WAF ;-)

It also raises several questions:

- When should such a recording be deleted?
 If it gets deleted as soon as replay is stopped, you'll be very surprised
 when you (or your kids ;-) inadvertently press Stop, and you can't resume
 replay.
 If it gets deleted after a certain timeout, you'll probably turn this off
 once you lost such a recording for the first time, because something
 came up that kept you from finishing viewing it in time.

- How to handle such a recording if it's not in the list of recordings?
 Maybe you find the recording to be so interesting that you want to
 keep it - no chance if it doesn't appear in the list.

I'd prefer to keep things simple...
