Recording on-the-fly

[AlexZ53]

I am watching a channel, I decide I want to record that programme while I carry on watching. Is there a way to simply start recording or do I have to stop watching, go to to the recordings screen and schedule a manual recording to start asap.

It would be nice if you could simply right click and record.

Does ctrl-k or the record button do what you want?

thanks! i dont have a remote, so the only option for me will be they keyboard shortcut. may I suggest adding at least some of those shortcuts/buttons to the menu you get when you right-click, for people who use a wireless mouse

The predecessor to NPVR (called GBPVR) could be driven by mouse. I suspect that mouse control is missing from NPVR due to lack of demand (you may be the only one ).

Actually that's a good point. There are options for play, pause and stop on the right-click menu for live tv so it makes sense to have Record there too. Make a post in the Wishlist folder so sub sees it.

I for one would like more mouse support - if only for making use of a touchscreen more friendly.
