I dont know if I would call this a bug...but it is a step back
I previously used software from 6/29
When manually recording if you hit channel up or down it went to the next channel on that same TP. So as example I only have 2 channels stored from 97W 12115

but they are not next to each other. There are different channels between them. 6/15 & 6/29 software I could just channel up/down and it would go to each one of those.
Now if I try that it says "stop recording then continue" which makes it sound like I am trying to go to another transponder.
Maybe I'll take screen shots to explain better

Recording something is very easy and you can record two things at once as long as it’s the same transponder. If you try and record a 3rd you get a popup that says “Unable to record 3rd channel”. If you are recording something the receiver allows you to scroll through the other channels on the transponder (if there are some) but it wont let you move off that transponder. So as example when I was recording TuffTV the only channels I could go through using the up down arrows were PBJ & RTV. The reason I say this is other receivers let you go onto another transponder but gives you a popup first asking to record. The Micro makes this easier as you don’t have to think “now what channels are on that same transponder that I can watch?” especially if you have channels separated in the list. As example on 97W I have the “news” channels listed first. But they may not be sorted by transponder. If I am recording say Russia Today and want to scroll to Al Jazeera English if say JN1 is between them the Manhattan would give me the popup to ask if I want to stop the program. The MicroHD if I hit channel up goes to JN1. If I hit channel up again it goes back to Russia Today (those are the only 2 channels from that transponder I have saved.)
