That patch is perhaps not trivial as there might be timing issues involved when switching shows (this is already a problem), but setting the time limit with hour resolution is probably a lot easier. Reserving space is not good as Myth just might need that space at a time when it is not needed for other projects. And I completely agree with the idea of being able to save a complete show by pressing record, but is there any use for the older LiveTV recordings ?
