Problem with catching the "EyeTV is recording" state is, that it is 
actually nothing there was a direct command for in EyeTV. Remote 
Buddy rather has to put several pieces of information together to 
find out whether something is currently being recorded.

Thanks for pointing out the requester arises in the EyeTV full screen 
menu. That, however, is a place that Remote Buddy can neither detect 
nor prevent this dialog from coming up. Since Remote Buddy detects 
automatically, whether EyeTV is in full screen or "normal" mode, it 
acts accordingly and its a lucky coincidence, that "return" is being 
sent for the play button by Remote Buddy to EyeTV while it is in 
fullscreen mode. As you already pointed out, that solves the problem 
here.

For the rest of the causes - where you change channels directly via 
Remote Buddy or its menu, the bezel should always come up.

I've just found a small bug that could make the bezel display the 
name of the wrong recording (=> fix in the next release), but nothing 
that would affect whether the bezel comes up or not.

Best regards, 
Felix
