Nice idea, however I see one small drawback: Until now, a 'pause' instant recording lasts 3 hours (or whatever was set up). With your patch, this time shortens to the time of the recording, which might be rather short, for example if the timer actually records the previous show and overlaps for a few minutes. This, together with the fact that this is probably unexpected by the user, can lead to disaster: If he's time-shifting later on, he'll be quite surprised that the recording has stopped minutes ago and the in-between show is gone. A probable solution would be to extend the ongoing recording to the minimum time shift time, eg. Setup.InstantRecordTime. However, I have no problem with the fact that the same show is recorded twice. This doesn't cause too much system load, and with today's disk sizes, it really doesn't hurt.
