Record from Quick Guide

[sdust]

A movie started 30 minutes ago and more than 30 minutes are in the buffer. Hitting record from the quick guide, records from the current timestamp discarding the buffer. What am I missing?

Save existing buffer when starting recording late

With "other" DVRs, if I tune to a show, and watch a few minutes, and decide I like the show, I can hit record and it starts the recording from the spot I started watching (i.e., the beginning of the rewindable buffer I already have collected), but with Channels-DVR it appears that it starts the recording from whenever I hit the "Record" button. It would be a lot nicer if it merged the existing buffer of the show to the recording it's making. Probably just have to dump off the buffer, and merge…

I think it has something to do with the buffer being in the client, and recordings are done at the DVR...

just guessing.
