Button delay
When you are typing in a channel number the digits still don't stay on the screen long enough. You still have to be pretty quick with the old fingers.

It's very annoying when you do want to do that. I use it very rarely, myself.
It's also very inconsistent. They are absurdly quick to get some very small digits off the screen and yet the stupid info bar stays there forever (well, 5 seconds ).

You think you have it bad? mine stays on the screen for 20 seconds. (if I let it)

Patrick I don't think the conflict message is driven by that setting. AFAICS, it stays on screen until the conflict resolves itself (often happens when you get an early start/late finish with a few seconds overlap), you do something, or up to a minute if you do nothing then it will cancel the new reservation (or swap channel if that was the conflict).

![]() You can change the setting but it doesn't make a scrap of difference to how long the stupid thing stays on the screen. This is the sort of thing they should have been fixing instead of fannying around with the iplayer. Edit: I didn't try increasing the persistence time so that may work. You just can't set it to get rid of the thing in less than ~5 seconds. |

Les - thanks for that, I will have to do more experiments with it then - at the time I was sure that the length of time it stayed on the screen increased after I changed that setting...although from what you say that observation might have been chance and due to the variable nature of the message!

Patrick Also, I have found that often I have waited and waited, hoping for it to resolve itself within the minute, and the screen disappears, but the box is still recording the 2 that caused the conflict, so by implication it has had to cancel the new reservation. Then, one of those finally finishes, and miraculously the box picks up the new reservation that you thought would have failed. Again, from observation, if this happens within another minute of the screen disappearing, it recovers OK. I think that's pretty impressive, actually. Hope I have explained this clearly enough. Rgds. Les. |

It works perfectly on mine I've always had mine set at 3 secs, just tried it at 1 sec, and disabled it completely no problem.
Had this worked on my box I doubt if this problem would have even existed for me. |

Are you talking about the 'progress bar' (as opposed to the information boxes) that you get when you press FF, Rew, pause, Skip Forward, Skip Back, or Play?

The i plate from pressing the i button
Interestingly the info box on my box stays up indefinitely (well, over 30 seconds). However, I actually expect to turn that off manually because that's how I turned it on. The info bar, OTOH is fine to come on and stay there during FF, Rew and pause, but a right pain at other times. |
