As i wrote:
i often had not timer programmed yet.

Sometimes i watch a program and find at the end of
transmission: "Great, let's record the next episode"...but how?
Did you ever try to enter a name in the timer with RC?
You do it exactly twice: The first and the last time.
It's a horror.

But it would be easy "one click" and no overhead if i could scroll 
back in EPG infos.

Why cache so long back?
I often find some interessting transmission announced for 
the afternoon. But then i have to work, so no chance to setup the
timer. OK, i could make an unpayed holiday, telling my boss:
"I have to programm my videorecorder" ;-))
