Just to add another data point to this discussion...
I have a manual timer set to record 7 hours of Science (or maybe History) channel. I've been (mostly) unable to play them since at least December! The only way I can play them is by using the red button to get the menu, and selecting...
It's as bad as ever for us... 622, HDMI, WA (I assume, since I'm in California), Network shows as well as Discovery, Science, etc. Didn't notice when watching an SD channel (Oxygen).
Any hope of getting this fixed?
