Nice new feature in 508 1.96

[MikeW]

I've noticed that the cancel button is much friendlier in 1.96. First off, as has been posted, it's nice to be able to push the cancel button and see a confirmation screen before it actually stops recording. The thing I've noticed also is that it acts as the "info" button while watching a recorded program. Used to be, if you wanted to see how much time remained on a program you were watching, you'd have to press "info", which showed you what was on live TV. If you pressed "cancel" it would show you the banner for what you are actually watching. Now, if you press "cancel" while viewing a recorded program, the banner displays the information of what you are watching and how much time remains.

Thanks Dish!

MikeW,
The "time left" feature, with the cancel button on the 50x's, is a very old feature. It was introduced long ago in an upgrade on the 501, at least 18 months ago.
