Only just got my hummy, but I've noticed a few shortcommings with the epg.

1. It would be nice to have a timeline marked showing the current time, I've seen this on other DVR's as a red line over the schedule.
2. Mark programs which overlap with set recordings, if the bit that they overlap with was shown in a different colour, that would useful, it would also be useful to be able to swap one of the scheduled recordings with the one i just selected instead of having to go into the menu etc to delete it in order to record something else
3. Partial recording, it would be nice if there is an overlap that I could choose to start recording the newly scheduled programme part way through, after the other had finished.

1. This exists as a yellow line in the time band at the top of the EPG.
3. You can always use manual record, assuming you are there to start it.

Welcome to the forum.

And instead of an icon marking the recording I would like to see a horizontal time bar marking the duration of the reservation. Its a pain when timer schedules do not show up because the reservation does not exactly a programme timeslot.
