I was sure that my break was more than 5 minute :-) If you have a call
or have to do something else for a few minutes, it´s easy to reach this
5 minutes. I agree that you could stop playback in this case, but
especially in timeshift mode, you might not want to see what coming up
next in the broadcast you are currently recording.

Thanks anyway for your reply. And to say it once again: Great work!

(Concerning investigation: Although I know C++, I still had not the time
to look at the VDR source... sorry!)
