I'd appreciate any advice on a couple of minor issues I am having with recordings.
Firstly, I occasionally forget I have a recording scheduled, and so keep watching live TV. When the time comes for the recording to start, I lose live TV after the recording service grabs the DVB card. Is there any way to prevent recording starting, or at least putting up a warning message before it happens? I can understand why recordings are prioritised over TV viewing, but I would prefer the opposite to happen. Can it be done?
Secondly, to restore my live TV I have tried to cancel the recording through pending recordings. This seems to work in that the recording is removed from the pending screen, but the DVB card isn't released, so I can't watch TV. The only way I can get TV back is via a machine restart. Is this a known issue, and is there a fix?
Thanks for any help,
Simon
