[vdr] Re: Feature request - time shift

[Brian_Dorling@t-online.de (Brian Dorling)]

Well,
maybe I dont correctly understand what you want, but I think
just pressing the PAUSE key (starts to record) and then play key
(starts to play back the recording) will give you that.

If you want a buffer of a certain time that VDR has automagically 
recorded without being asked to, that was discussed a few times here
and I dont think is planned at this time.
