I absolutely agree, I hope that this feature would help to blur the
distinction between broadcasts and streams.
However, this offers a practical solution that could be instantly
implemented.
Furthermore, even when streaming media becomes dominant a user may still
wish to keep their own library of particular shows, since the streaming
companies cannot be expected to keep every instance of every programme
they have ever purchased on their servers. To this end a feature which
automatically saved certain programmes when they become available (from
any source) would be very useful.

This is definitely a great idea, but I think the industry needs to
shift to streaming-based content distribution in general. A move like
that would eliminate the entire problem in the first place.

Forgot to mention that, as the subject suggests, this should also be
offered for shows for which signal failure was detected during the show.
Also, whilst delete shows should be kept in the trash for a day, and
recoverable from there, information about the deleted shows should be
kept for one month, again allowing the user to try to recover the
show from online or other sources automatically.

When setting a show to record, Ubuntu should identify whether more
than 5 minutes of the programme has been already broadcast.
If this is the case it should start recording immediately, but also
offer the user the option to have Ubuntu automatically replace the
incomplete recording with a full one should it become available
online, or be repeated later.
This offer should take the form of a dialog box when recording from
the guide or a small, semi-transparent (see my rating idea) bar at
the bottom of the screen with a simple question and 'Yes' or 'No'
answer (to that end, the remote should have Yes and No buttons,
since they are commonly useful on a smart TV)
Matt
P.S. For both this and the rating idea the bar should be almost
identical in size and appearance to the current lens selector bar
when viewing the dash maximised.
