Uhm, consider those boxes broken.That was exactly what I was considering.... let the isActive return timeshift_enabled and the user can skip back when playing live as there is no differnce....
But when doing so on some boxes there is no way to quit timeshift...... not all remotes have a STOP button....
They might need a work-around later, but any HDD recorder without the basic set of buttons (At least Play/Pause, Rew, Ffwd, Stop and Record) can not be considered to be suitable for timeshift and HDD recordings.
I don't see why proper STBs should get the work-around (Having to zap rather than using the genuine STOP button), just to suit the needs of broken boxes.
