[QUOTE="icarusi, post: 746304, member: 308359"] This is surprising (well it surprised me). I was recording some HD content and fiddling about with the buttons to see which options were still working. One undocumented sequence brought up a window of previous recordings so I selected one and it played HD while the recording continued. All the transport controls worked so I was able to FF and REW up to 24x use the same skip controls etc., I let one recording play to the end and it duly dropped me back into the live view, still recording ok, and I was able to skip back into that file to check for any glitches, while still recording. I tried the same thing on a radio channel, but no window appeared and through button pressing I managed to lock out everything needing a hard reset. When I pwered back on I found the recording had been saved, so even with the button lockup/lockout it still performed ok. OTOH the documented features in the manual about a graphic display for the audio and saving a paused image to 'flash' don't work (at least as documented). The USB speed test is also iffy as it often didn't rate to HD recording let alone recording and playback of different files, so better to just try it and see. Pity as a reliable USB speed test option would be handy. Although the drive I'm using doesn't have a 'sleep' control I tried the STB setting and found after 'sleep' it takes 30sec after button press before a recording commences. There's little onscreen info to say what's happening, so a bit primitive on that count. [/QUOTE]
