I know this has been requested before, I just want to beg a bit again.
Please show in-progress recordings under "What's New", either instead of or in addition to showing them in the Pending list.
Two primary reasons:
1. The more obvious reason is that a show being recorded is in fact watchable in most cases, and is by definition 'New'. If you check your recordings list to see what's available to watch now, it's silly to have to check both "What's New" and "Pending".
2. The less obvious reason, but the reason I'm begging again for this change, is that I occaisionally (say twice a month) have a tuner get stuck on a recording; once this happens no other scheduled recordings will happen until I notice the problem and restart the recording service. It's sometimes days before I notice the stuck recording, since I don't usually go into "Pending". If it showed whatever was being recorded in "What's New", I or someone else would notice within a few hours that the same show that ended hours ago is always listed as "Recording" and then something could be done about it sooner.
If there are likely to be people who would NOT want "Recording" shows listed in "What's New", then perhaps this could be a choice with a config.xml tag?
