It is a DTR T1000. How do you do a Maintenance Mode 4 reset?

Soft restart didn't make any difference, however maintenance mode 4 reset seems to have done the trick (fingers crossed)
It's worth mentioning to folks that it takes ages to respond with anything after doing the button press. In fact I thought nothing was happening the first time and tried again. You just get a blank screen.
I thought I had seen or read about all the bugs. But no, here is another one:

I imagine this scenario has occurred due to the BBC changing the schedules and programming on BBC1 and BBC2 (SD and HD) to accommodate Andy Murray's match v Fognini. That would have resulted in EPG changes and indeed they moved the EastEnders across to BBC2. I take it you are not actually missing any recordings ?

Actually, it isnt related to that at all. The (rescheduled) recording on BBC2 took place correctly - and in fact if you look carefully the 1 recording that is still showing available is actually that BBC2 recording.
In fact, there were 2 recordings (one for BBC1 thursday and one for BBC2 Friday) and we have since deleted the Thursday recording. This has left the 1 recording. Unfortunately, the deleting of that recording hasnt told the software to
a, change the 'summary count' of recordings to 1 instead of 2 (or even remove it completely as all single episodes normally appear) and b, remove the tile appearance of a 'group'/series record (because there is only 1).

Well I think Youview did well to accommodate the extremely late rescheduling of the Friday broadcast. As you have now explained that you did in fact have 2 recordings and that you have deleted one but have a incorrect count remaining at the series tile level that gives a clearer picture of the issue. I think some earlier issues with episode count have been reported in this forum.
Hey you guise, I actually found something I like! I was pleased to see I can now delete whole collections of recordings en-masse, in the previous (far superior) software version, I had to delete each episode one-by-one.

Yeah, a good feature until you backout/stop a playback of a recording and press delete (thinking that like the old version you are only deleting that one recording that you were just watching) and instead you delete the whole series because in reality it takes you back to the main page and highlights the whole group instead.
You wont be liking it then.
(Are you sure you couldnt delete a group/series with a single press (and confirm) of the DELETE button in the old version? Im not so sure ......)

The problem is that it is all to easy now to do that by mistake as which ever way you now exit a recorded programme being played, you are returned to the top level group thumbnail rather than where you originated the play from.

It is worth noting YouView have addressed the poor back journey in the newer retail software version 28.26.0 released a month ago (and also then pushed for TalkTalk boxes too a little later). When this newer software/this feature will hit the BT boxes time will tell. Being returned to the specific tile one enters on clears up the confusion and saves time and button presses

Interesting, thanks Keith. Do you have nay other information on what has been addressed? (Where do you get your information from?)

A summary of each update can be found in the consolidated list of updates and changes. The info I put there is what I know of the updates and links to the update announcement for each new software version. YouView are rather sparing on details though.

p.s. you could absolutely delete a whole series of recordings in one action in the first-gen software, this isn't new to next-gen

Grunders - does it fix itself when you leave the Recordings screen then go back in? I'll have a look tomorrow if this has been fixed internally - I know something similar has been, but I'd have to check here

Thought so. The problem is that with this version you can inadvertently find yourself deleting a whole series when you THINK you are at an individual recording (because you have exited playback). That didnt happen in the last version.

Im not sure Stephen. As I look at it now it does show correctly (the screen shot was from Friday after immediately watching and deleting the (now missing) episode. The box has been in to standby several times since then). I personally dont have the available recordings to do the test at the moment.

Ok, if it's just the temporary issue, the recordings screen not reflecting changes made in the episode list screen, then that has been fixed internally and will make its way out soon

Yes, that was a regrettable change for users expecting the old behaviour, but as Keith points out we've restored the old behaviour now, and it's in progress of rolling out eventually to everyone

Yes, this is whole experience is in the process of being further improved. The YouView team have publicly stated they are committed to improving NexyGens user journey.
I'm now happy with the disagree icon, because its gone.

Ooh I hope I get in before you get a chance to edit, NexyGens sounds so much sexier!

They certainly improved my journey....onto Freeview Play where the UI grass is greener and the ability to download SD recordings (in MPEG2) onto my other devices so I can watch them anywhere, like an entire series while flying to Australia

Ooh, I LIKE that! Now you REALLY have my attention. Now I am even more serious at looking away from this carcrash UI. Having the ability to download your recordings is brill and something I would have wanted here when I chose the youview box (for its original look and functionality)

Freeview Play lets you download onto other devices? But yay, have a great journey to Australia, brilliant. Watching SD for 23 hours, do they even let you do that that on the plane? If so make sure you book an optician for when you get there.

If anyones flying to Australia there should be HD headrest screens built into the back of the seats.

I was thinking that as well. But obviously if you prefer to have your own stuff downloaded in SD courtesy of Freeview Play then youwhat will post back here soonest and tell us where we're all going wrong. Unless by downloading onto other devices s/he means via SCART or suchlike onto an old HDD recorder? In which case taking it onboard with the cabling and monitor etc. might just play havoc with the hand baggage rules.

Visionmanredchiz The plane example was just that, didn't take long for you guys to have a pop though, did it? and HD is not everything unless you're watching on a big screen. Not even going to dignify a response to your questions. I am happy on Freeview Play and not going to get into silly Youview fanboi games.

Hey newbie, joking aside, you were the one who claimed Freeview Play is superior because of its download capabilities, can you explain further please?
