Info Bar (when changing channel)

OK - just a quick question. Is there anyway to get the channel info bar to display on screen whilst watchin a program - the info bar in question is the one that appears when you change channel, i.e. time left etc. Also can this be displayed whilst watching a recording (rather than having to pause it)? In the old V+ days, I would just look at the time on the front of the box .

It's the one thing that drives the wife mad!

Thanks, but pressing OK just brings up the mini guide (or do you mean press OK when watching something prerecorded?).

Just want the basic info bar to be diaplayed - as per the one displayed when changing channel.

Re: Info Bar (when changing channel)

Press Info is the only other option I think?

Yeah I'm sure if you press 'ok' during a recording it shows you the title, time and the remaining time of the recording.

Re: Info Bar (when changing channel)

If you want to know how far a recording you are you can press play whilst watching it and this will bring the time line bar up - that's the bar you get at the bottom with the green line when you fast forward etc. Any good?

Yes Andy is right press play, pressing OK brings up the mini guide.
