    Post 622: Found this out by accident...

    ADVERTS 1
    You all know if you hit the DVR button twice, it takes you to your recorded events. If you hit it 3 times, it will take you to your recording schedule.

    Not sure if anyone else knew about this or not but thought I would pass it along.

    Yea and if you hit the skip ahead, skip forward, ff or rewind buttons repeatedly too fast, it'll bring up the info screen, which in my opinion is a great enhancment

    Actually, I believe the INFO SCREEN comes up when you overload the buffer by hitting more keys than it can process.

    All these tips also work on 522, 625, and 942 by the way, not just the ViP622.

    I just discovered that closed captin works in HD on most shows. I used to read disclaimers that cc was not available on HD shows. But I find it for DEADWOOD when I want to play back later and review the exact text of what was said. They tend to speak in the stilted flowery language that was in vogue in the late 1800's. (High level of abstraction)

    I was being factious. Actually it's a pain because you then have to cycle through the info screen to regain control. Seems like a stupid design to me. Why couldn't they just have it disregard "over buffer" key presses or stack them?
