Wish List of DVR Features - Next SW Upgrade


You can still do this by adjusting your priority on the show you want to record late. In this instance, you would set Blade's priority lower than both of the shows in that time slot that you are recording that do not repeat. Then the DVR will automatically record the one that repeats in the middle of the night (morning). The first one would be skipped by priority. It works!!

A very simple change, one which TiVo has:

Press play to show the timeline.

As far as I can tell, the only way to see how much time is left on a recording is to press pause. WTF?

This should work for live broadcasts, too.
Click to expand...
Press CANCEL to see the time in minutes left of the recording or of the show, when live somewhere in the upper left, usually.
Press Pause to see the time left in minutes and seconds or of the buffer, when live, and Pause again to release it. If under a second or so, it may go live to live.

As a corollary to the above request; sometimes I pause to see something I missed and that dang status bar covers up what I was looking for. Is there a way to 'remove' all the display stuff so you actually see an unadulterated paused frame?
 
When I press the pause button I will also press the frame advance button once. This removes the status bar from the bottom. It does leave a small icon in the top right, but you can at least see virtually all of the screen
 
aha. Ok, I guess I'll need to map that button to my harmony as well. I only have ffwd/rwd and 30-second skip/10sec back.
 
I believe when you are in pause, the 30 second skip will work as the frame advance. I also have a harmony and that is what I use
 
When fast forwarding, and I hit play... skip back a few seconds. And, how many seconds it goes backwards is dependent on how fast I was fast-forwarding.

I was always under the impression that this was a pretty popular tivo feature, so since I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread yet I'm hoping that means shortly I'll be called a stupid newb and told how to turn it on. So, thanks in advance.
