Thumb Down - Thumb Up - Play - Play
Some descriptions of this sequece say it needs to be done on the Home screen, others say it is an option if interface is frozen.
I haven't tried it myself. Maybe someone at VM could advise?

Yeah, it doesn't work. If it has any affect it only lasts 5 minutes so you wait 40 seconds for the menu to restart to save 20 seconds waiting for a program to start. There have been about half a dozen "user fixes" over the past few years but only VM can fix it. The last update made it worse, so they know what to do to make it "less worse".
I assume you mean the "Community forum". I see the mods have now gone back to the "delete unwanted recordings" user fix to "speed things up". I gave up on that place when the mods blamed noisy Tivo on noisy fans and one of them kept getting mixed up with the features on their Sky box. Everything just goes round and around without resolution and then someone else reports the same problem and it starts all over again.
