I was unaware of the new Info key (was using vdr-1.3.37) and certainly it does do as described - thank you. You must have had requests for this (or felt it was necessary) and as Gunnar suggests it would also be beneficial in record playback. While this is a key option, it does mean one less key for us to use for macros. If a double press of ok is used in viewing and record, I beleive we improve the UI and reduce 'clutter' on the screen.
Do you have any feelings about my other suggestion about showing what is being recorded (either channel or program) when the OK key is pressed?

Bringing up the channel display to quickly see what's on right now, or displaying the progress display while replaying to see how far the replay has gone are functions that should work quick and easily. Pressing Ok shall bring these up, and another press of Ok shall put them away again. I don't think it would be good to force the user to press Back to close these.
Just define a dedicated Info key if this is an important function for you, and you you'll be able to bring up the info in live mode and while replaying.

You can see that in the "Timers" menu.

I absolutely agree with Klaus. My Humax STB behaves exacatly the way Mike Parker's request and that always annoyes me! I find it very uncomfortable to have to press another butten (like back) instead of the ok button again.
