being able to use up and down to change channel in the live tv mode
is
great, but if the same buttons are used for a completely different
purpose in the recording mode, its not.
This is not a default is it? I'm pretty sure that you would need to
bind the up and down arrow keys yourself. In either case, this sort
of
dangerous binding should be deterred.
How dangerous? So you lose the Live TV buffer.
No different to watching a normal live or streamed TV.
If the thing being watched wasn't important enough to
have been recorded, then its loss is hardly dangerous.
If you use Live TV a lot, then set the setting that
confirms before changing if behind real time, and enable
channel browse mode.
It is the default, or at least it was a while ago. When playing a
recording, up/down jump by 10 minutes (or whatever is configured). In
live TV mode they change channel. So if you try to jump 10 minutes in
live TV mode, you change channel and lose your buffer.
It did bug me, so I changed the key bindings about a
year ago (I think I used MythWeb). Plus and Minus change
channels, and up and down do the big jump. There is a small
problem with the way these are interpreted (e.g. after
changing channel with them, the Up and Down keys also
seem to change channel), but it works.
1) I would imagine that most people with a real remote
(i.e. with a channel up and down button) would have done this?
2) I have never proposed changing the initial/compiled-in
default because for people using a PC keyboard, being able
to change the channels with Up and Down is much more intuitive
than having to use some other keys.
