    I am not going to repeat all of the complaints that have been expressed on this board. Look them up yourself. And the play button has been explained before.

    I hope the software developers listen better than you.

    Oh shoot, OK. Since when would anyone logically think that when someone pushed PLAY, they really wanted to "go slow." Duh. I will grant this: I do see that they re-added the "time into this recording" info in one of the updates; it was something that was lost originally. If you want to push play to see how much of this show remains (a common use of the prior functionality), it goes into slow motion instead. How about using the double-arrow keys to change speed, either forward or backward, like everywhere else? Who decided to move speed change onto the play key?

    Again, search the threads on this board. It appears that only "insiders" are happy with it. And many specific observations have been posted--not just "I don't like it."

    Forgive me for not going back through pages of posts A simple "The play button does this" would help..

    Because when I hit play it makes the show go in slow motion. If yours does something different then mine then your box has a problem.

    I am not talking just about the play button. That was but one example.

    If you don't care to know the problems, so be it. I am not going to spend my time researching them again to save you the time.

    Just hit the play button and tell me what it does its not that hard..

    so far the only problems I heard of from here is it not recording all the shows, or cutting off shows etc. Which there could be a number of reasons for this to be happening.

    and it lacks features (which is obvious) but it also has a lot of new features passport didnt.


    I hit the play button it works neat I love slow mo, specially if its a recorded sports game and I want to see something again

    something that I've noticed after the software update....i have my box connected via hdmi to my surround sound. every couple of days, i have to reboot the box manually, in order for the surround sound to recognize the 5.1 from the HD channels....is this from the new software or the box? I have exchanged the box a couple of times and have same issue.

    No, it is not that hard, but neither is reading all that hard...I said before, "Oh shoot, OK. Since when would anyone logically think that when someone pushed PLAY, they really wanted to "go slow." Duh.

    I recomend hitting the "Info" button to find out information on time remaining (Which is what I have always used even on Passport). Personnally I prefer the play button being the slow motion button.. Seeing how that is what it is on a ton of dvd players and other devices... Some have play/pause on the same button. The BHN remote though has a seperate pause button so using play to be the slow-mo makes sense.

    Sure its somthing to get used to when you normally hit it for somthing else, but its not a defect or a problem
