	Me too.

	From a UI point of view, having things based on actions
is easiest for most folks. Of course, it becomes tricky if
someone is watching TV, and then hits the recording button.
The action has changed. When they escape, should it return
to the TV page or the Manage Recordings area?

	Setup is needed, although what I don't like about the
current setup menu structure is that I have to go out of TV
to the top level, then into TV settings, then into Programme
Guide or Playback.

	But that is easily fixed - just duplicate Programme Guide
settings in the Schedule recordings area. (and in the default
theme, using the "gear" icon for the button makes it easy to
work out what are settings without having "Setup" in the label)
