I was watching something last night, and had added about a 5sec delay or so from a RW/FF just before the end. I noticed the skips end the current file ends and the new one starts was almost unnoticable.
There is a live tv delay, and a mvp delay, but is there a way to add a regular timeshift delay? Something flexible like the others to find the least annoying balance between waiting for the change and getting the least amount of skip?
The other possibility (and maybe the better alternative) is not to pad the start of the program (when you select/change to), but to start recording the next timeslot sooner. It would be like adding the padding to viewing in this model.
All things being equal, I think the latter would better (I think...may be technically not be). It would really only be useful for those watching the same channel from one program to the next, but that would still make a good portion of TS viewing smoother.
