Re: URGENT: If I press record on V+.....
This does seem to be a bit of a design flaw. The flow diagram should be:

1) User presses record in live TV
2) The box checks the TV guide to see when the current programme began
3) If the user changed to the current channel before the current programme started, then
a) calculate how much of the delay TV buffer needs to be copied over as a recording, or else
b) copy the entire delay TV buffer as a recording
4) Continue recording from the current point.

(so basically the box goes back to the start of the current programme if it can, or otherwise saves as much as it can)
