So far, the original question asked, indicated that no obvious method of setting a recording (of something already in iPlayer) was possible (had it been obvious the question would not have been asked). You and phlppip suggested that the solution was to press the "i" button and when I asked for clarification regarding the use of the "OK" button you confirmed that this would take you immediately to the iPlayer instead of bringing up the options to record/remind/watch in iPlayer (as would be presented on previous models).
Correct.
Mars then posted "On my Aura, everything works as expected so you press record to record, OK to launch iplayer, and i for information." That would certainly appear to contradict your solution as it suggests that pressing the red button will set up a schedule to record something that is already available in iPlayer (unless, of course, Mars hasn't bothered to read previous posts to understand what was originally asked? It certainly hasn't made it any clearer).
As I tried to indicate in my previous post this method works and directly allows you to setup a recording as either a single recording or a series recording. The method I suggested provides those options plus the ability to set a reminder or to switch to HD (presumably only if available) or play the content via on demand.
And its not like comparing apples to oranges either. Operating/recording procedures should be easier (or at least not more convoluted) in new models.
I would argue that the designers of the FVP-5000T didn't follow your ideas in many respects. I see it as a minor quirk and fail to understand why you are making such a fuss.
