I started recording a show by hitting the record button while watching it. Everything went fine. When the show ended, though, the recording continued. In the guide, the program item showed a Record option instead of a Cancel Recording option, indicating that it wasn't being recorded. But, while watching the show, it said Recording On, press left or right arrow to cancel. I did - nothing happened. Going into standard view, I can see that it is currently recording. Also, if I check the status of the tuners, it says it is recording. I can't figure out how to stop it. I stopped playback but recording continued.
This is really a few issues:
1. There's really no good way to see if recording is taking place in theater view (the EPG doesn't show it unless you drill down into an item, and even then it can report the wrong thing).
2. The Recording On/Off can fail to work when watching a show.
3. The behavior of the ad-hoc Record button isn't obvious. I guess sometimes it's nice for it to continue past the show you are watching, but it's not clear that's going to happen. Also, even explicitly stopping it actually worked, what is the default behavior if I don't? To record until my hard drive is full?
