so have it an option that can be changed, but filled in with the available information. By default it should be that specific program information, with the option of making it a recurring recording of that show, so no subtitle information would be needed. > > > defaulting everything else to their current > >settings but allowing the user to change them if desired.

DVB records an mpeg stream directly, so no profile would be needed.

Well, this is assuming that one decides to record from Live-TV, so no rule would exist, if it did, then it would have been recorded, or should have been. If its a single episode, would a rule be needed, could just that one episode be selected for recording?
