Play list question

638 Views 8 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Rich
Suppose you have 130 Law & Orders in a folder and have watched 30 of them and would like to delete those 30. Is there a way to open the folder and go directly to the bottom of the list contained in the folder? I have this situation because I always hit "play" on the folder, so all the recordings I've seen are at the bottom of the folder.

I know how to do this on a Tivo, but have never seen any mention of how to do it on an HR.

Thanx,

Rich

No. You have to page down after opening the folder.

However, if you hit Yellow and select Mark for deletion, it will open all the folders and you can page down and just select what you want to delete.

Then you just delete the all at once.

I know it's not exactly what you're asking about but, IIRC, it's the easiest way to delete that many recordings.

Just tried that and it seems to be no faster than the way I've been doing it. It is a faster way of deleting multiple items from multiple folders and, while that doesn't solve the problem I posed, that is a good thing to know.

There's gotta be a way. So easy on a TiVo and you can't do it on an HR? And there is no work around?

There must be an "uber-geek" out there who knows a way. (And, yes, I did spell "uber" correctly. I know the German word uses an umlaut, but it is not required in English [and beside that, I couldn't figure out how to do an umlaut]).

AFAIK, there is no work around or faster way to get to the end of a list of shows.

Oh sure. I'll remember that. Can't remember what I had for breakfast, but...

Me too. But there has to be a way. There has to be.

When you hit the "Play" button on a folder it takes you to the last unseen program or the program you were last watching. And it keeps going until you stop watching the programs.
