I do hope so.. or
I'll even settle for Psychological..
Anything but that I am losing my marbles

Is it only me?
that when i see the..
'PRESS RED' button..
I press the little .. very RED.. [To me] button ..
which in fact then starts Recording..
Any tips to condition me to press the correct one Please?

Try the one that matches the green, blue & yellow buttons!

Lol, can't help you there. I have enough trouble with Sky HD, my Humax DTT PVR and my Harmony One remote. I press [Record] for Sky HD but I press [Ok] on the DTT PVR. Sometimes I think technology is just designed to annoy us. That's rather a sad indictment coming from a software engineer
