V+ box wish list

Had a bit of a thought as to what I would like added to the software on the V+ box.

1) If I am recording 2 programs that run one after the other on the same channel, be clever enough to use the one tuner and split the small cross over point into the 2 separate programs. Gets annoying if I try to record 3 hour long programs, 1 at 9 on a channel, 1 at 10 on the same channel and 1 at 10 on another channel, one of the 10 ones will fail due to the over/under run additions bit.

2) Give me an easy way to select where in a recording I want a program to start, to do it at the moment I have to start watching, stop watching (after 1 few minutes), select to start again, and then mess about on the start from when I left off bit to choose a time.

3) Lose the times 2 bit on the fast forward, I never use it.

4) Allow in pause mode, for me to return to pause mode if I have hit creep forwards. Hitting play/pause just restarts at the normal speed.

5) Most important. Return to the old style favourites, where hitting the favourite button cycled through them, not bring up some menu for me to select from (with the delay between channels now, I am not sure if it would work as well)

For all I know, most of these might somewhere be in the system, can not seem to find them though.
