I'd be pleased, if there would be some kind of a caretaking, so that the "pause-live-tv" recording would just disappear after returning to other modes of operation. I think it would not break anything for the user, since you can always use the specific recording button in the menu to create an actual recording.
If you want to pause live tv, how else would you suggest caching the stream? It's either going to be to ram or some storage device, and if you don't save the stream (aka "record" it), how are you supposed to play it back? Unless you mean VDR should somehow determine that you've caught up to live tv from playing back at the point you paused it, and then delete the recording/cache without caring if you wanted to keep it for any reason.
I really hope Klaus never intends to implement something like the live tv buffer that myth has. The idea of one of my harddrives saving nonstop 24/7 is really really lame. Huge waste of power, constant heat, and unnecessary wear on the harddrive for something that probably doesn't even get used that much in the first place.
No, I meant deleting automatically the pause-live-TV "recording". That recording is conceptually just a technical implementation issue (and should not be visible in the recordings list, even, in my opinion). The end user needs not care for the object structure of VDR source code, and the implementation of pause-live-TV is in the same category.
It is easy to distinguish pausing live TV and making a recording as concepts, as a normal user.
