Different "views" in PVR mode

I noticed last night that when I pressed "info" when in the PVR view it appeared to toggle between three different "views" of the scheduled recordings. I didn't get enough time to work out what the differences were, and it didn't appear that any "heading" changed when I pressed info (as it does in the event viewer).

Does anyone know what the three different views are supposed to represent? I suspect its something like "recorded only", "scheduled to record only" and "something else that I can't quite put my finger on"!

Could it be scheduled and recorded which is what I see and it a little messy to say the least. I haven't tried pressing info in that view, I will give that a go tonight.

That was my guess, but as I've confused things enough with having some recordings scheduled from the OTW EPG, and others from the OTA EPG it wasn't desparately clear!!!

Ah, I have only used OTA (no HD here so no garbled EPG).

My menus show all items both recorded and scheduled all mixed up together with green ticks and double ticks by the ones scheduled and red bins by the ones in the trash. The ones with no icon are the ones I want to be seeing and playing. Needless to say this jumbled view has not pleased the family so if this is the function of the info button here that will be great.

The default view: left hand list, alphabetical list of shows with something to watch followed by alphabetical list of shows with recordings scheduled but no shows to watch.
One press of info: Left hand list, alphabetical pure and simple.
Second press: Left hand list alphabetical with only shows that have something to watch.

Once set to a view it seems to stay as the new default.

Good work! I played with this for ages last night and could not tell what was going on.

I would like it if the right hand list could be also configured to only show things to watch (i.e. not scheduled or deleted items) but I guess in time the menus will ge simpler, there are more pressing issues at the moment.
