both in the normal case and in the case of missing guide data. I just thought of a new feature
I'd like to see, curious to hear what people think.
I was flipping channels last night and came across a program already showing. As I'm watching
it, I think "this is really good, I want to record it!" so I hit record, and keep watching. While it's recording,
I go on mythweb, look up the program, schedule a later recording to get the whole thing, go into the frontend,
delete the current recording, go back to live TV to continue watching it. So here's what I came up with:
Option A). Multiple record buttons, users can map whichever one they want to the actual red circle on the remote.
The standard button will be the same, immediately start recording the current program. The "advanced" record button
will work as follows:
Option B). Advance Record button: when you hit record (and there is guide data), it will tell you what the current program is,
how long it is, and how far in you are. It will give you these options:
- Record Now
- Find and record a later showing
- Cancel
Find and record a later showing would have some kind of feedback where it would let you know if the show is on again and if
it can be recorded. If it can, it will be, and if not, it will let the user know and allow them to still immediate record.
Again, I'm not sure how useful this feature is - this is the only time I ran into that situation, I just wasn't sure how common it
was or if anyone else liked the idea. In my case it was a star wars making-of special on the history channel that ran 10-midnight,
and there was another showing at 2am. A lot of specials and movies show that way, one in primetime or a little later, and a repeat
in the middle of the night.
Thoughts?
