[QUOTE="vbap, post: 19417, member: 11549"] Fully agree with Peter on this one. I also agree the old dialog box was clumsy, but it worked!! How about both options with a setting in config about which manual recording type the user prefers? Normally, I use the EPG to schedule recordings. However, with the way back-to-back recordings are handled (esp. if one has only a single TV tuner card), I either miss out on the beginning of the second show (depending on how much post-buffer I have specified), or, if both shows are on the same channel, then I get the start of the second show as the last few minutes of the first show. So, in this case, I prefer a manual recording so that both programs are in one recording. This cannot be done with the EPG. Basically, for my needs, the EPG works 75% of the time. When I need to do a manual recording, it's because I want fine control over start and end times (and, therefore, the pre-/post-paddings should be ignored for manual recordings). [/QUOTE]
