#458: "View recordings" usability woes

I have found some things in the "view recordings" dialog which are sub-
optimal.
At least on my TV, when the recording viewer starts it is not obvious what
on the screen is selected. When (and this is the most common case) the
user thinks that the recordings screen is selected and presses "down" to
select another recording to play etc. Instead, the tabs just to the left
are selected, and the user thinks that all but one recording has gone.
What really happened here is that he has changed the tab to filter out
certain recordings.
Only a very slight change in color occurs when the user does it the right
way and presses "right" to select the recordings screen first.
I propose:
1. Have the "recordings screen" preselected from the beginning
2. Perhaps putting the tabs on the left side?
3. Give more visible hints of which control is selected
