I'am sorry Jason, but there are 2 reasons why there should be a difference ( to my 
opinion)

-When timeshifting, zapping a channel takes to long (the buffer must be filled), 
everyone wants his freevo box
as flexibel as a TV, mostly you don't need timeshifting, when it is needed, just pres 
"play" et voila: if installed:
a little delay and the show is timeshifted! I don't know about you, but a lot of 
people zap often all channels (I certainly do). and
as stated before, the "play button" would make sence to start timeshifting, within 
freevo it is
to my knowledge no problem to capture the button or key.


-Timeshifting needs a patch to mplayer either way you do it
     -a lot of people (freevo users) can't patch their mplayer
     -Timeshifting needs a faster system, with a bigger harddisk, not all freevo users 
have such a system

Timeshifting remains still a  "nice to have" feature but must shoud not interfere with 
the mainstream usage of freevo.
