[QUOTE="NLS, post: 55324, member: 20102"] I just HAD to use my (TM) word. :D Anyway after TWO accidents pressing a key on my remote and loosing critical TV time... I wonder if there could be some "safety" if someone tries to switch channel (both by pressing a number or ch up/down) but only when pause is pressed for some time. The system should either ask if the user is sure that wants to change the channel (best case), or not allow it if the user doesn't press "stop" for example. Of course the safety system should not be triggered if the user hasn't pressed pause at all (and uses simple timeshifting) or press pause for 2-3 secs or maybe 10 secs tops. In fact since the user could have pressed pause for let say 60 seconds but it happened to have 55 secs of commercials in there (and after resuming he pressed fast forward to skip them - so in fact he is 5 secs before timeshift 0), the system in fact should not check if the pause is pressed, just if the feed is more than 10 secs behind timeshift "live" (which of course is also not live since timeshift delays content a bit). I hope you get my idea even with my bad english. After TWO times that we lost precious (ok weird word choice since we talk about shows) TV content by mistake (once the fault of my wife that thought pressing "ok" would resume, and once my... elbow's mistake), I see this idea as VITAL... I hope some dev does too. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
