Default WHY the change to "reminders"?

I used to be able to add programmes on the PP as "autoview" without
going to the tv listings, i.e. by cycling around favourite channels,
going forward in time and hitting SELECT a couple of times. Now the
first SELECT button sets the reminder (no autoview) and the 2nd select
cancels it!

Anyone found another method of setting autoview without trawling
through tv listings?

Sorry, I found this a useful change, since I often found myself adding
things to the PP, by mistake, by pressing select.
I use the right/left arrows of the scan bar, to go through channels, and if
you have hit the down arrow by mistake, and then select, it would go to PP,
and to be able to delete that, by re-pressing select is great.

Sorry!

Why can't $ky programmers simply add parameters in to the setup, so that
customers can keep the existing settings instead of being forced to the new
features, that way everyone would be happy.
