2 questions about 508

1st question...When getting ready to record a program thats a few days out in the guide, is there a quicker way to get there vs. pressing the right arrow and scrolling forever?
Example..Today is Thursday and I want to record a program for next Monday and don't know the time and so forth.
This leads to the next question. When I scroll out to next Monday and find the program and then hit the enter button ( sometimes it ask to record and sometimes it does not ) it takes me back to the program I was watching and then I have to go into the guide again and scroll. Is this a bug or am I not doing something right?

I did a search but was not able to find the answers to these questions.

If you know what program it is, you can search for it. Press # and type in the first few letters of it

It does it to me all the time....I dont know how many times I say "I'm going to get this f---er to work". It takes usually 2 or 3 times. Does it to my ExpressVu 3100 too.

Ive started just writing it down and doing it manually. It sucks to do it that way.

if its a specific program, you can search for it. It does store the searched programs for future reference

You have two options.
When in the guide pressing the skip forward button will move you ahead 1 day.
The skip back button will move you back 1 day.
you can also press the number of hours you want to go and then press the arrow key.
