Since the last beta that I saw...
Has the Next Prime button been removed (it is still there on [rs] but not on [webif])?
I like the addition of the "No EPG data for this time range...".
 
The yellow vertical line showing the current time/progress through programmes in the EPG grid view seems to be broken, it is now only showing a short line through the first channel, and partly into the second channel.

Mine is better, does about 37 channels and then misses the bottom 8 !

Mine shows on the first 90 pct of the epg...

It has never been there on the webif version - not sure it makes sense on RS any more either.

Hadn't noticed that difference.
Its use is a little uncertain... it is useful for coming back to the current prime when you are somewhere down the week. That said, my original instinct with it was that it should take me to the next prime following the day/time that I am currently looking at.
 
Skipped/already recorded episodes are still shown as to be recorded (blue) on the webif EPG rather than in orange as on the RS EPG.

I seem to have a problem with channels temporarily missing from my grid-style Now/Next, that are present in my standard now/next display. Should this have been fixed with this update?

My schedule is showing a conflict for a reservation that has no others scheduled for more than four hours before or after it. I tried deleting it on the box then recreating it, but it still shows up in pink. Any ideas?

Later: I worked it out. Is there a way to delete posts here?

No, but I'd be interested to know what it was : )

There was a second recording which was hidden behind "+1 more" in the list for a series reservation. There was also the reminder I use to wake up the box every morning, which overlapped both of them.
 
Trying to select a program to record from either EPG Search or the EPG itself isn't working for me! "Hand" appears, but no pop-up box.

Since 'Click for 1 more...' takes up the same space as actually displaying the one more why not just display it! The ''Click for n more...' should only be displayed when there are 2 or more additional entries

I thought that the other day but neglected to mention it.

Ah, OK. The new visual view would have shown the problem and is where to go for managing conflict problems now as it provides more options.

That's how I found the problem :). Would it make sense to also "pink up" the reservation with the hidden entry and any conflicting reminder?
 
I just rebooted one of my machines from the diagnostics page when two "will record .." statuses were shown at the top of the screen. One was for five minutes later and the other ten. When it came back up, the two items had fallen off the schedule. I spotted it in time to re-schedule them via the remote control.

I tried to recreate this on another box with an imminent recording but that remembered the schedule as usual. But this may not be a valid test as I had to manually update the package first, and there was only one recording coming up. Also I had the warning about this box last being rebooted for a schedule and may need manual intervention.

It will be interesting to see if this happens again.
