Just one additional note I discovered or better remembered yet (sorry):

I have the Elchi-Aio applied to my vdr and therefore I am able to set 
the flags
'Show Date' and 'Show Time' to 'no', which is exactly the setting I am 
using.

Switching back to 'yes' brings back the recording to the recordings 
menu, with
full functionality.

Anyway, I would suggest to name the recording other than '_'.

What do you think?
