Does anyone know how the previous channel button works as it's only working rarely for me. If I go back to TV from a recording etc it won't then switch to the previous TV channel. I've also found it either doesn't switch back to/from certain channels or it just won't work after a certain amount of time of watching a channel - or it just stops working for some other reason, I don't know which it as as yet. Anyway, switching back and forth between current and the previous channel is something I usually find really useful but the button doesn't do anything most of the time on this thing. Cheers.

Cheers.I get exactly this and it would be very useful. Can anyone shed some light on it?

Try this.
Change to a different channel and press the back button to prove it works.
Now press recordings and use the back button to exit. My 5000T Box forgets the last channel viewed.
Repeat the above but get rid of the recording list using the X key. On my 5000T the last channel viewed is still remembered.

My problem was switching to a second channel then pressing the Back button works, press it again and it works again, and you can continue this until you leave it for some time (not checked how long) then it does nothing. Sorry for the confusion re recordings.

I will set up two channels on my 5000T and leave it for 30 minutes to see if it still works.

Left it for 1.5hrs without touching the remote control and it had forgotten the last viewed channel. So looks like a bug to me.

Me thinks it is not really a previous channel button but a previous action button that is unless my 4000t remote is different to others it is labeled BACK

In my case I have not touched any other buttons so it should toggle between two channels. It does this this most of the time.

Mine does the same, it works as expected until you leave the remote alone for a while and at some time it simply forgets the last action.
