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.
