Yup.  There are 4 major items left on my live-tv todo list.  They are:

- Pause OSD doesn't update.
- ToggleRecord needs to have warnings for channel changes if it's the 
currently recording program.
- Exiting live-tv when the currently recording program was set to keep through 
togglerecord needs to keep recording.
- Get the live-tv -> previously scheduled recorded program transition working 
(where it asks if you want to record/cancel/etc).

So, half are fixing togglerecord to work better when you use it on a currently 
recording program.  It already works as you'd expect for a non-current 
program, of course.

Right.  Sorry, it's just incredibly frustrating having to deal with stuff like 
this sometimes.
