I tend to agree with this logic, with the one exception that it's nice to know why something didn't record. FYI, if Replay TV v2 can't record, it creates a "one minute" recording and when you try and play it back, it just says pops up a box "this program could not record, check your antenna yada yada yada". I tend to agree with the "My mom should be able to use" logic when it comes to something like a PVR and at least it's basic functions. FYI, my mom loves her TiVo and learned how to use it quicker than that VCRPlus+ enter-a-number to record a show stuff. Beat that simplicity and you have a device usable by anyone. Lastly, wanted to say I have had this problem happen, but it's not HDTV recording. It was me rebooting my box many times and restarting mythbackend (to debug ivtv lockup problems I'm having) and the show starting to record and not, etc. I had one 30 minute show listed 4 times in the recording section, and apparently there where not files for all of them, now I can't delete two of them and they say 0MB in size. I sorta figured the problem was that the file didn't exist. I was just going to clear out them manually from the DB when I got my mythbox stable enough to use. Maybe a simple File '2347982374923874.nuv' not found/OK popup when it can't delete a show? -Kenneth
