You're right, and as too long text is cut at the end, "Buffer saving blocks
rewinding" isn't any worse than "Buffer saving blocks rewind".

That's a cool idea, I'm just unsure how many compromise I should take
for the SD TV watchers, which I don't know how many there are, but
surely won't become more over time. And HD users got lots of space
for the texts. So I'll guess, SD users (like me) will have to live with some
texts cut at the end.

Thanks for your translation!

Ciao,
