...and so little time. Thanks for the forthcoming ignore-punctuation-in-CTs change, BTW!

Compatable Taps and Toppy menus will display as you want 4:3 or 16:9, gone are the days of watching a program and pressing a Tap to find half its menus are not visible.

I have recently encountered this problem recording the show "Bodyshock: the girl whose muscles are turning to bone" on channel five, i think the resulting recording was called somethin like Bodyshock:The girl whose muscles are turning to bone:five" without a .rec extension.

As I said in earlier post, I think the most useful feature of WSSKiller is to be able to display the MyStuff grid as 16:9 when watching a 4:3 programme without any extra fiddling around.

So does it bug noone else when Mystuff switches screen-mode just to display N&N?

OK, I'll get my coat.....

(I hope you won't get sick of these, but... )
This is my experience with MyStuff, so I just wanted to get these down while I remember them:

1. It's excellent and I wouldn't be without it now!

2. As above poster says, the long filesnames/missing .rec is fairly serious, but it sounds like that's going to be covered.

3. MyStuff's loading of MEI data causes quite a long freeze (> 5 seconds with RT data) in which the remote is ignored and by default this occurs every 5 mins. I've changed mine to only get the data every 30 mins, but this one can be frustrating when the box is in intensive use, and some won't be aware that it's MS doing it if they've turned off the feedback via options.

4. It would be nice if the coloured buttons could jump fwd/back in timeslip as well as playback (this confuses my family, as it'll work sometimes but not others, and they often don't realise they're in timeslip vs playback).

5. Pressing the REC button with no MS window up uses the native Toppy record function, ie the confusing horrible one Could MS trap the REC button and do as it does when N&N is up?

6. A feature to prompt and delete a program when you've reached say 90% playback and pressed stop, a la InfoBox. This is fueled mainly by my wifes query of 'why doesn't it return to the Archive afterwards' (from previous SKY+ experiences). ie to delete it, we must press stop, then press Archive, then find the recording and delete it.

7. As above, if you initiated playback in the Archive, it might be more intuitive if it returned to the Archive when you stopped it. This makes deletion easier, but also means you can quickly check if an episode is one you saw already and can go straight back to finding another recorded one, and so on.

8. The arrow keys could be usefully mapped to bring up N&N for next/previous channel and next/previous program, a la SKY. These are unused currently while watching live tv until OK is pressed (could have one less keypress if an arrow initiated N&N).

9. The INFO button is also unmapped in live TV mode, and could usefully bring up the extended info without the need to go via N&N (again, less keypresses required)

10. The STOP button could also usefully (and optionally) be remapped to avoid the really confusing double-usage it has natively (in playback = stop play, while recording = cancel the recording - Inadvertently press it twice and it's a gonna - Yikes! especially with kids around!) Perhaps it would be better ONLY stopping playback and doing nothing otherwise! (you can always stop a recording via the archive - much safer).

I'm sure there's other stuff I'll remember later, but that'll do for now

Cheers,
Luke
