Wow! Thanks Barry for the help
. Would be nice to have an “info” button as it’s not particularly intuitive.

Here’s one of my gripes in terms of button presses, does anyone know a faster way of doing this? I’m watching a recording and I want to flick back to live TV to check something. I then want to resume watching the recoded program. To do this I have to hit Home, Recordings, Find the programme (scrolling through all the programs because it doesn’t remember where I was), then find the right episode (which unless it is the latest episode I have to scroll backwards because again it doesn’t remember where I was), then press play, then press “Yes play from where I was last watching”.
If the interface was snappy I might just about forgive it, but its just too sluggish.
On a previous box I had, I could just press “Play” on the remote and it would call up the last program I was watching. So simple, so logical, so helpful.
This is the quickest way I have found to back to the last recording you were watching after stopping it to watch live TV.
Home > Down > Left twice > OK three times.
To go back to an earlier recording you were watching press ‘Left’ the appropriate number of times until you reach the desired recording.
It’s not exactly quick, but it is much quicker than going back to the recordings list and scrolling through the library, and it does take you straight to the episode you were watching.

You’re right it’s not particularly intuative, but I have now got used to using the same sequence,
‘Home > Down > Left twice > OK’
both to get the info whilst watching a recording, and to get back to a recording from live TV.
When is the next software release out?
Reading the above ‘shortcuts’ really does make me wonder who thought this software was anywhere near acceptable. Granted the guide has improved massively since it first came out, but the rest of it, i.e. the recording schedule and recording list still resemble the original huge graphic layout of the original guide software and really jars with the new slim-line look of the guide.
Much improved as the guide is though, it would be nice if it loaded in one go and not in 5 parts…. main guide outline, then contents, then channel numbers, then channel logos, then catch-up symbols.
Why go from a super slick interface to one that is hobbled by speed and lack of shortcuts?
I am seriously thinking of getting a new HDD for my ‘old’ HDR and making that our main machine again and putting the FVP out to pasture if things don’t improve.
