I agree.  It still plays my UK SD DVB-T recordings only jerkily and with 
no sound, but the addition of video playback is great.  I have some that 
play very well, although without using another diagnostic screen it's 
difficult to predict which they will be.

I think it can even find and play tracks from DVD iso images - but not 
watchably, like the mpeg2 recordings.  And the title is coming up as 
'VTS 03 1'

I'm glad the 'delete' button moved.  Originally it was disconcertingly 
close to 'play'.
