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)

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.
