    I haven't even been notified of the official release as yet, so no release note.

    Given that now/next has gone from the EPG can anyone work out the best way to get program info on live channels now ?

    View the channel and press OK exactly as you had to before the update.

    Yes, I know how for the current channel but you told me a way of doing it for other live channels a while back without actually changing channel and I can't remember how.

    I don't think you can now.

    It used to be a matter of pressing right to 'dismiss' the now next screen and then press OK.

    Oh yes, that is what you told me.

    Seems like the new EPG is three steps forward and one step back.

    Still can't believe that Humax didn't put an info button on the remote.

    What do the round circles with the PLAY symbol mean?

    Question of Sport on BBC1/BBC1HD at 19:30 tonight has a round circle with a PLAY (arrow) symbol it in the EPG. What does it signify?

    Sometimes the circle is dotted - what does that signify?

    I think it means you can play back from iPlayer directly from the guide. If it has a solid line it means it is available on iPlayer now. If it is dotted, it means it will be available in the future.

    Thanks - you are correct.

    When the circle is solid, I press OK and the last option in the list is WATCH NOW. When I choose it, I get taken to the iPlayer version.

    So, you can watch some programmes before they are broadcast (presumably because this is a repeat).

    Still cannot set EPG to start "on the hour" by the > button

    I would far prefer if the > button jumped the EPG forward by 30 minutes instead of jumping 2 hours, which is what the >> button does.

    That way, you could align the EPG to start at, say, 8pm. Most programmes start "on the hour" and it would be much better if the EPG could be set to start "on the hour" as well. As it is, parts of the title of the first programme, and the programme 2 hours later, are often hidden.

    Similarly, the < button should go back 30 minutes.

    My faithful and very old 9200T does this ...
