[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1124759, member: 141969"] The very simplest form of recording status would be the famed "red dot" that WMC shows at the right-hand end of the Task Bar when a recording is taking place. :) An elaboration would be to show a yellow dot if a recording is about to start in the next "n" minutes ("n" being user configurable). :):) A further elaboration would be to display the name, channel, and start/end times of the current recordings and of the next scheduled recording. :):):) Can you tell yet that I think this is a good idea? :D -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
