How come recording the buffer has not been addressed? There has been discussion for 5 yrs now, but MS has not addressed this. I was watching the Super Bowl today and then decided I wanted to record it. Ooops!!! I hit the record button and lost the first quarter!!! Lots of questions on how to handle this but just inaction. I'd rather see something than nothing. I had Dish Network for years, not sure exactly how it worked, but at a minimum it recorded all the show I was currently watching. I will accept a pop up box to ask me, but give me option of a default action to be applied.
