  >> Is there any easy way to disable the new "Mythical Bookmark" that is in 0.28? I have off the air TV in the US and Schedules Direct, and they often start the program up to a minute off. I used to just fast forward to when it starts, or just wait, which required no action. Now, I have to jump back on most of the recordings to see the start of the show. I don't find it helpful to start playback after the preroll in my circumstance. I am sure is it helpful to other people. An option to use it or not use it would be useful.

button-up/down 10 min skipping
button-right 1 min forward
button-left 10 sec backward

very fast in finding the real start, so no need for a just as random
'magical?' startpoint that makes searching for the start only slower
as you have to look two ways.
