You're right of course, I confused the terms. I'm not sure if I'd want recordings of even entire livetv shows showing up under All Programs. It's not unusual for LiveTV to be on for half the day or left on overnight in our house even though no one is really watching. It may not be as bad as I'm imagining though. Speaking of my family's viewing habits, I have seen my wife occasionly watching a show on LiveTV that is recording on another tuner at the same time because the show came on LiveTV after another show she was watching. What happens in a situation like this? I assume the filenames are the same whether recording from LiveTV or scheduled if you start at the beginning of the show? With LiveTV shows being autoexpired first, I wonder what will happen in certain situations such as pausing LiveTV and going away for several hours. It can't autoexpire a recording in use, so the show you are currently watching is safe and I assume it would delete the next show. This could be a problem if you are watching a sports game that runs late and you missed the end of the game. What if there is only one program that is still in the process of being recorded after the show that is paused? Would it delete the in-progress recording? I think in these cases I would rather have it delete an old scheduled recording. I'm sure you and Isaac have already considered these situations, but I can't tell from the commits what the result might be and I since my wife relies on LiveTV I'm going to stick with 7673 until after it is ready to be tested without my wife killing me.
