Card-priority for recording

Summary:

I have two analog cards and one digital.
Offcourse I rather watch digital instead of analog.
I hate it when I'm watching a digital channel and a recording starts because the current channel I'm watching freezes (without warning).

I really, really wish I could set the general card priority AND a card priority for recording when watching a digital channel, so the card priority changes when I'm watching tv...or a popup to ask what you want.

Description:

A pop-up when watching tv and a recording is about to start should show up and have the following options:
1. Start planned recording with digital card and stop watching (digital) tv.
2. Start planned recording with analog card and continue watching (digital) tv.
3. Start planned recording and switch to channel of planned recording.

4. Don't start planned recording (of digital channel) and keep watching (digital) tv.
(This would be optional and only very usefull when a channel is only digital, so there is no analog combined version of the channel or you don't have an analog card)

I don't know if this is hard to program, but this would be truely fantastic in my opinion!

I would like to see a decision message also, and I think this has been requested before.

It just seems that the priority (even though to me it seems that this cannot be a big issue) is too low besides other requests and bugs....

I also hate it when TV freezes all over sudden and you do not know what happens....

A 4th option would be: Switch to the recording channel and go on watchin TV... (because I only use one Tuner)

Cheers

Yes, offcourse!

Switch to channel of planned recording. I'll add it to the fp.
