Hope it also adds some new functionality for navigating round the EPG.

And allows you to delete shows while it is recording something else.

I don't have one, but I'm curious... Does this mean that the download will
take 47 hours to complete, and you need to be tuned to BBCx for all that
time, or that it's a short download and you need to tune in at some point
during that 47 hour window?

It sounds like the former to me, which also sounds a little inconvenient.

The download will be available for 47 hours, but will not even take 1 hour
to do, based on previous downloads. Of course signal strength and any
interference will cause problems.

Adding a skip forward/back one day in the EPG would make me a happier
bunny, too... /wish

It usually takes less than 15 minutes for me... but I am in a very strong
signal area.

Hah, someone else who goes through, tags loads of old recordings, and then
notices that the little red light is on?

The current version has been repeated several times over the past few months
so I am sure it will be the same with this one.......or at least I hope so
as I will be on holiday at the time!

The latter. An actual download takes about ten minutes. Each download
is broadcast for a number of days in a row to give people a chance to
find it.
