    I like to watch my oldest recordings first, but if I halt a recording, to watch the news etc. Is there an easy way to return to what I was watching, without having to scroll down page by page?

    Pause the recording, switch to the TV tuner to watch the news etc, switch back to the PVR and continue watching the recording. Works for any PVR etc.

    I have a HDR-1000S on one hdmi input on my AVR and another with a FVP-5000T connected. I set up one say on BBC1. And watch watch the recording on the box it’s recorded on. Pause the recording. Switch to the other and watch the local news. Switch back and release the pause.

    I imagine this would work using two HDMI inputs on a TV.

    I usually do what Biggles has suggested, but I also check Teletext news to see if anything of interest is coming up. My new LG TV doesn’t have Teletext, the Humax has.

    I’ll try what SSThing has suggested.

    Are you sure about the TV?

    If you switch to “live TV” and BBC1 then press the red button on your remote, doesn’t this bring up the text service?

    This TV doesn’t have Teletext. It is being phased out with the TV manufacturers. The controller doesn’t have a “text” button. The “One for All” controller has a text button, but I get “this function is not available”

    Apologies, you are correct. The red button opens up iPlayer (or should but it’s currently not available).

    Thank you SSThing! That first tip works perfectly.

    To access Teletext.

    Type 250 on remote.

    When page loads press YELLOW

    Press ch down once

    Press ch up once (returns to 250)

    Keep repeat pressing GREEN button

    A page will appear with 6 options

    Press 6

    Press BLUE

    And there is Teletext.

    There’s also other options that may be useful to someone.

    Does this work for devices without a functional Text button?

    I did not ask for this, as my 5000 has a text button, but I tried your instructions, & they worked!

    No, on the Humax. Just tried them on the TV but they did not work like they did with the Humax.
