[QUOTE="Mugsy, post: 751030, member: 112940"] My computer is my "Media Center". I watch HDTV on my widescreen monitor with 5.1 surround sound. I can play BluRay and DVD movies, even stream content over the Internet, all using my remote control. But primarily, my computer is still for work. When my favorite TV shows come on, I want to watch them live. And its nice to have the computer automatically open to the exact channel at the exact time so that I don't have to remember to open the TV on time, then try to remember what show it was I was planning to watch at that time on that day. Why ONLY support scheduling a recording that I'll only to have to watch "later"? (because I'll never get around to it.) (Example: I don't watch "American Idol", but I can imagine plenty of people would appreciate the TV automatically opening when the show comes on so they don't miss it. And watching a "recording" of the show AFTER it has already aired isn't as enjoyable. Ditto for sporting events, not wanting to miss "the big game" as soon as it starts.) I'd also like to be able to jump back and start recording something from a particular point ("Wow! What a shot! I want to save that!") AFTER a program has already started (I post a lot of news clips to YouTube, but don't record everything I watch, so if I see something I want to keep, I need to be able to go back and start recording from that point.) I never understood the point of only supporting "silent record" on schedule and not "watch live on schedule", forcing you to go back and watch your programs at a time less convenient than right now. It seems completely logical to me, yet NO tv viewing software for Win7 supports this, so you're clearly not alone in your thinking. Am I [I]really[/I] asking for something so unusual? [/QUOTE]
