When viewing the now/next banner during playback, information about the currently playing recording is displayed. This is similar to the now/next banner displayed for a broadcast programme, with the addition of a red caret on the progress bar at the point at which the recording is currently being played.

The current recording can be navigated in a number of ways:

[REW/FFW]: Initiates rewind (x1, x2, x3) or fast-forward (x2, x4, x6) in the standard Toppy way.

[LEFT/RIGHT]: Moves the red caret point left or right of the current play position in

steps of 1% of the recording: press [OK] when the caret is at the desired point to move playback to that position.

[RED]: Move the current play position back 10 seconds.

[YELLOW/BLUE]: Move the current play position back/forward respectively by a given amount of time. This amount defaults to 3 minutes. Every time the direction changes (going from [YELLOW] to [BLUE] or vice versa) the amount used halves.

Successively using [YELLOW] and [BLUE], therefore, allows you to easily home in on a point in the playback you’re looking for – just as using REW and FFW would help you to find the start of a particular Boney M track on a compilation tape in a 1970s cassette recorder.

Pressing any other key resets the amount of time to 3 minutes.

Other keys during normal operation

During normal operation and whether or not a now-and-next banner is being displayed (and assuming that a maximal key set is enabled – see the configuration section above) iGuide takes control of certain other keys:

[0-9] and [OK]: As for now-and-next above, allows the user to enter a channel number and navigate there.

[MUTE]: Mutes the sound or un-mutes it again.

[OPT]: Enables or disables subtitles

[SLOW]: Starts playing the last played recording from its last-viewed position.
