To be honest the one extra button press has not been that much of an inconvenience surprisingly.
Yes but how long does it take for the play time bar that appears to disappear again? If I pause on BBC4 in a foreign programme with subtitles I find on Play the play time bar causes me to miss subtitles before it disappears, so I have to skip backwards a bit to read what I missed. If skip back causes the time bar to appear then I'm snookered.
You can press exit to dismiss the time bar same as on HDR T2.

Yet more button presses. This may be useful for me on HDR Fox T2 after Pause, but for skip forwards/backwards on Freeview Play that adds yet another button press for what is a single button on the HDR Fox T2.

If the foreign language film has Audio Description then the Audio Description will read the compulsory sub-titles for you.
Unfortunately the films I've watched the Audio Description was present for some of those films with a mix of languages but so far not one where it was all non-English.

I'm not talking about anything as complicated as Audio Description. This is things like Beck on BBC4 which are in Swedish with burnt in English subtitles in the video stream.
But when the Audio Description reads the subtitles for you, you won't have to remember anything as complicated as remembering how to read! And when that happens it does not matter whether or not the sub-tiles are hidden by the playbar.

I like hearing the Swedish soundtrack, it adds a lot of atmosphere. I don't want that interrupted by Audio Description. And I can read perfectly well, I don't understand why people make a big deal out of reading subtitles.

There is to be a 2TB all black version....

Excellent. I was thinking a couple of days ago that if I did buy one I would go for the 500GB and install a 2TB and at the same time spray the casing black bar the trim and the controls.
I feel 2TB is far more than I need. I'm only just starting to feel cramped on 500GB HDR Fox T2, and that's partly because I'm using custom firmware pacakges that chew disc space like Undelete.
