Hi all,
I see exactly this too...you can end up with a stack of running live instant recordings without realising it. I think its an area that needs some improvement.

Hi Theunis, Hi list,
I have read the manual. I understand how vdr works.
I don't like finding 4 instant recordings going, using up disk space and 10 old instant recordings that no one actually wanted.
IMHO: it is too easy to 'accidentally' bump the pause key. I have done it, my wife has done and my kids do it. I could re-read the manual but my opinion won't change. :)

Well honestly I'm confused. I use vdr 1.6 and when I press down or up it changes channel only. My vdr never pauses live tv. Mind you I don't have a pause key either and neither defined. So perhaps this is the way to for him.
Why didn't you just read the manual? It is all there! :) It is really great!
The point is: keys do different things in differnet environments.
In liveview, the "down"- key decreases channel by 1 in replay-mode the "down"-key pauses the recording.
If you define a pause-key, than this key pauses in replay-mode. In live-view it creates an instant-recording, that is replayed and
paused.
Before anyone posts to this topic, would you please read the manual?
I think this whole thread would not exist, if anyone would have read the manual ;)
btw. the manual comes with every copy of VDR and can be read via web in the WIKI: http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/VDR_User%27s_Manual
Frank, who read the manual ;)
