 ### Changed
 
+- DeadAir is in the same box as a show's download settings, below them, and stays there when automatic downloads are off (#185).
 - The container is built on Debian 13 (trixie) instead of 12, so DeadAir uses ffmpeg 7.1 instead of 5.1 (#177).
 - DeadAir no longer makes a shortened copy of each episode. It plays the original with its long silences left out, ready a few seconds after the download, with no gap where a silence was cut and no extra disk space (#181).
