Hi! I've just recently started to use NPVR after using WMC for several years, and I'm liking what I see so far. Nice work! I do have a list of suggestions for some key/button changes. See what you think of my (kinda lengthy) list:
Whew! Thanks for listening!

- When I press the Play button on a show in What's New, I'd like it to always resume a recording that has a resume point. This ensures that the user has to explicitly tell the program that it should lose information (the resume point) by choosing something like "Replay" in the show's menu.
- I'd like the show's menu to start with Play (or Resume) instead of "Close" (I'd move Close down to the end). For a show that hasn't been played yet, have the first item be "Play". Once there is a resume point, make it "Resume" and add "Replay" right below it.
- It would be nice if the delete key would work w/o having to enter the show's menu. I can currently delete a show in What's New by pressing Enter + Delete + Enter (to confirm), but it would be nice to be able to use just Delete + Enter.
- If I press play on a group of shows in Ready Recordings, it would be nice if the first unwatched show would start to play (currently Play does nothing).
- When stopping at the current end-of-recording point in a still-recording show loses the resume point. If the save-resume-point logic was tweaked to base the end-of-show point on how long the show will become, that would allow a Stop at 30 mins into a 61-min recording to save the Resume point, even when only 30 minutes has been recorded.
- It would be nice if the Space key would pause/play in playback.
- It would be nice if the 'x' key would stop playback.
- It would be nice if the Backspace key went back like the Escape key does.
Whew! Thanks for listening!
