- When should such a recording be deleted?
If it gets deleted as soon as replay is stopped, you'll be very surprised when you (or your kids ;-) inadvertently press Stop, and you can't resume replay. If it gets deleted after a certain timeout, you'll probably turn this off once you lost such a recording for the first time, because something came up that kept you from finishing viewing it in time.
- How to handle such a recording if it's not in the list of recordings?
Maybe you find the recording to be so interesting that you want to keep it - no chance if it doesn't appear in the list.
What about just asking the user?
So someone hit pause and play. No one remembers. For now, its some kind of invisible recording. If someone hits 'stop' or tries to change channels, ask the user 'Continue instant recording?'. If he presses OK, make the recording visible. If he presses cancel, delete the recording.
Cheers,
How about a small icon/character in the corner that shows you are busy viewing a live/paused recording...?
