    Do a Keyword search (all) to turn Skip-to-Tick on or off:

I believe it's the little bit of recording before (30secs) and after (90secs) a show.

Exactly. The change here is that the program will start at the normal time (during playback) and you can skip backwards. The last CE it started at the begining of the "pad". Also, the on-screen time-bar won't show the padding.
 
All of my local HD stations are in 4x3 instead of 16x9 right now. Just checked Starz HD and it is fine. Not to sure why this has happened.
 
Just noticed that my HR20-100 is stuck in 480P mode on my local HD channels. It switch's to 720P on all other HD channels. I have tried to press the resolution button on front and nothing happens, just stays at 480P. My resolution settings in the menu is 720P only. This is while using HDMI.
 
Not sure what it was but it just fixed itself. I noticed a few others having this same problem in the DBSTalk chat room.
