Sorry to be bothering you guys again, but you were so helpful with my previous issues that I thought I’d ask.

Basically, I’m trying to help my mum who lives a couple of hundred miles away, so it’s all a bit on the remote side. I managed to replace a LNB on the dish for her Freesat box, but, although that helped matters, one of the tuners still wouldn’t work so she decided to buy a HDR 2000T as she now has decent Freeview reception.

Obviously it’s a little different, and one of the thing she struggles with is finding out what channels she’s recording which apparently used to appear whenever she tried to change channel on her old box; is there an easy way, without going into the list of recorded programmes, to see which channels are being recorded at any moment?

Also, and I know this will sound silly, but she’s struggling to stop a recording once it’s started; is it simply a matter of making sure she presses the “Stop” button, or does she need to press the “record” button a second time, or something else perhaps?
