Between blotch and blok

no way of canceling a bookmarked show
er... I have Virgin and I have no idea how to "bookmark" a show ... unless you mean so that it will change channels when it starts or is set to record later?

For the recording thing, go to the TV guide, cursor on to the show, and press the record button and it will ask you if you want to cancel the recording.

For picking from multiply marked for recording shows, go to planned recordings and do something similar.

If viewing planned recordings by series, then I believe the yellow button is the cancel series record.

My TVDrive (aka V+ box) does well with the time in sync, but the older box keeps saying it's 7:30am when you pull up the TV guide, which *is* annoying.

But I rarely have to reboot (though much more often than I used to, sometimes it can be once a week!)
