thanks for your input.

You're asking for a strongly customized behaviour of the EyeTV 
behaviour that will certainly not fit the majority. I'm already 
thinking about possible solutions to this general problem, though.

The same goes with the menu hold feature. While it certainly seems a 
useful idea, the number of buttons is too limited to hardwire more 
than one of the possible combinations to certain functionality. Yet 
still, I'll keep thinking about it and maybe I find a similiar solution.
