Watch option for shows on at a later time

[Boromir]

When selecting a show in the guide that is on later I would like to have an option of 'Watch'. In some cases I want to remember to watch a show, but don't need it recorded. Ideally this would just change the channel if you are in live tv mode, and possibly start live tv mode if you are at the menu. Using 'Record' doesn't work well because it kicks me out of live TV mode when the recording starts, then I have to get back into the right place to watch as it records.

In another thread someone asked about having Live TV switch to the program being recorded rather then kick you out to the menu, that would work just as well (perhaps better since it would be recorded if I was not there) for my needs.

I didn't find a previous thread on this, but if it is a duplicate I apologize.

Thanks!
