Yeah, this bugs me too. It would be nice if there was a way (color button?) to hide it.
The "TrickPlay status bar" in the lower screen-why is it blocking the view of ....
This bar is there all the time during trickplay except on repeat use of the replay button.
It blocks my view of news banners and etc.
It blocks view of paused content for ~2min.
I am a long time DTV user but new to Dbs.
This is for me the biggest peeve with Dtv dvrs.
Also with the hr-10 but at least it would pause and step w/o the "bar".
How hard can this be to fix-at least as to the pause time out ala hr-10??
Does this pick anyone's b----- also?:shrug:

An alternative to the EXIT button is to press BLUE twice. This pops-up and removes the mini-guide.
I choose to use BLUE instead of EXIT, because if you are watching a recording from your playlist, you can be thrown out of your playback to live TV if you accidentally hit EXIT more than once. This has happened to me on many occasions and I loathe that EXIT doesn't simply clear the graphics but is an enhanced form of STOP. (See my sig for more on my loathing of EXIT.)

If you're coming out of trickplay to Play, simply hit Play a second time.
Used to bother me too, then discovered pause + exit+ play, and bar goes away.paulman182 said:If you're coming out of trickplay to Play, simply hit Play a second time.
Play twice is even better
With my HR10 every time I hit 30 sec. skip the bar pops up. On the HR20s it doesn't.
Yes, instant replay and SKIP are the only two times the progress bar does not appear.
The bar appears for PAUSE, REW, FFW, SLIP, SKIP-TO-TICK and the first press of PLAY. It also appears when changing channels.
I would love a feature that was available on the HR10 (through a back door remote sequence) to permit the progress bar to quickly toggle off on the HR20. It could be implemented as a back door hack or as an option in the DISPLAY settings. After all, we have an option to specify how long the banner is displayed, so why not an option to specify how long the progress bar is displayed?

If you hit EXIT twice just hit previous channel and it will go back to the recording.Drew2k said:An alternative to the EXIT button is to press BLUE twice. This pops-up and removes the mini-guide.

30skip fast forwards 30 seconds but without showing u the video so its faster.
Yeah, but who wants to be interrupted like that? There's also the potential that when you're throw to live TV you'll see something you don't want, for example, a key scene in a program you're recording, or the final score of a game you're recording while watching something else?Insomniac2k said:If you hit EXIT twice just hit previous channel and it will go back to the recording.
That's right, the key on the remote that looks like this >>| can be used for SLIP or SKIP. The SKIP feature is new and is enabled using a keyword search as follows:dcowboy7 said:30slip fast forwards 30 seconds but lets u see the video while its doing it.
30skip fast forwards 30 seconds but without showing u the video so its faster.
MENU > Search > Keyword Search
Enter 30SKIP
Continue
Press SELECT on All
Wait for it message "No matching programs"
You can now press >>| and instantly skip (jump) 30 seconds ahead and the progress bar will not appear.
To restore SLIP functionality, repeat the search steps but this time enter 30SLIP as the keyword.
Does the size of the status bar change with respect to the size of the screen? On my little TV it's fine, but if I had a bigger TV and the status bar were proportionally bigger it would bug me too.
