That is now the norm and very irritating. You cant even pause on something you want a closer look at without it popping up and you have to push return to remove it. I sometime wonder who the genius is that come up with these ideas to spoil our enjoyment of the features available on our PVR's

New error message seen last night on playback of a recording. Never seen before:
In the past a loss of video, (black screen) with audio still fine. Now, on this one, The screen now displays a red screen with a message in the middle, "Missing File". Yellow triangle with an "!" in the middle of it.
Anyone else ever seen this before?

You can still view the paused image - just pess the back button after pausibg. There is a message somewhere on the pause screen also advising it
Yes that is exactly the problem and irritation you pause at a certain spot you want and then instead of the view you want you end up with a pop up and you have to press the back button and if you want to advance another few frames you end up with the pop up again etc. I hate pop ups on my computer and now I have to deal with them on my Explora as well.

Yup irritated the H out of me when we looked after my daughter's place while she was away on her Explora. I solved the problem by rather using her secondary Pace 2 heh he!

If anyone gets an Explora Ultra decoder (Explora 4) please consider posting its info.
"HD Decoder" s info also desired.
(Can't recall how many makes/models there are but there's quite a few.)
And I suppose the Streama as well, although who knows why

Latest update seems to have caused new chaos, my Season Manager no longer lists current recurring MRs (Manual Recordings).
However this week's episodes are still listed in the Schedules, so I nervously presume it will continue to work.
No sign of their listing anywhere else either.
More deeply ridiculous thinking, or new mistakes?? Can anyone else confirm this isn't just my Explora going nuts? TIA

Testing has confirmed the following;
1. Recurring MRs are still in memory, and new episodes activate on reboot if within 24 hrs. as normal.
2. A cold reboot doesn't bring them back to, nor do new R-MRs appear in the Season Manager.
3. They can still be cancelled (individually or whole season) as usual by instead accessing the individual sub-menu on a Schedules' MR entry.
BUT as usual modern MC doesn't think things through.
Not only is it a nuisance to try sometimes keep this info in our minds only, it has practical problems which MC aren't capable of foreseeing anymore, such as the following fictional example (and there's simpler examples as well);
Joe lives alone and is going away for a few weeks. While gone, in the second week there's an unavoidable clash with a R-MR. However he needs it for the next two weeks after.
It takes priority over EPG recording settings...
But, he already removed this week's auto schedule setting as he's planning to record it elsewhere. So how does he access the season setting to delete the whole season, allowing for more individualised MRs for the complete period, if he'll be away before the next occurrence pops up?????
Bl00dy fools!! Please would someone who can, try report this more detailed thinking to MC.

I have done so but don't expect anything to come from it. Software is going live with bugs reported over and over without any feedback ever.
