Haizzz...another compliant i have with the beyond PVR...again.

Compliant on the changes recently Astro made to the PVR software programming. Not sure if I'm the only one affected or you guys also experience this:

1) When i set to record a TV series, e.g. now conveniently labelled as "CSI (S10)", it will record BOTH HD and SD channels at the same time (AXN channel 701 and 721). Why would i want to waste space to record SD channels when i have a Beyond PVR which records exactly the same in HD. I only set to record HD and did not specify to record the SD channels.

2) Series link will now record every single repeats on a day, everyday. Previously, the series link will record CSI (S10) every day (maybe 3 of the same recordings in a week, which is already annoying enough). Now, the PVR will record every single REPEAT in a day. I have now 3 copies of THE SAME CSI EPISODE IN HD and SD. In a week, i will have 3 x 7 days (21 of the same episodes). It has filled up my entire HDD and i have to housekeeping every day just to delete the repeats. Worst part is I have to toggle many screens just to delete an episode! (see note 4)

3) Some shows which has no series link information cannot be recorded automatically. This is especially true for some older Chinese shows. Why getting a PVR if we need to still manually record?

4) When I watch finish (or stop) playing back a recorded movie, can you have an option to delete this immediately? I have to go back to the recorded movie, scroll down to the actually recording, then press the red button to delete. Bloody ANNOYING!!!!!! Especially if you have a retarded PVR software that records the same ESPISODE 3 times daily...for BOTH SD and HD.
