Couple questions regarding default Sage stv?

[mohanman]

hey guys,
I have been using sagemc since I became a Sage freak. But I like the regular stv because it is pretty much bug free. I can't figure out how to do some things though:

1) Is it possible to have an active tv window still playing in the default stv even if I were to leave the guide or live tv and go search media? Or is this only possible with the background?

2) If I use the background method of playing active stuff while searching for example in the music section, how do I go back to get that video playing in the background to come back to the foreground without having to go back to live tv or guide?

Thanks
Mo

If there is no room for the preview window on a menu, then background video would be the only one that would be visible.

The "TV" command (not "Live TV") toggles between the playback screen and the last menu.

Also the Back/Left commands work too depending on where you are vs. were. You may have to hit it more then once. The back button is labeled on the MVP remotes.

So is the TV button -- right below the Go button at the top of the 45 button remote.

(The old 34 button Hauppauge remote uses the Back/Exit button as the TV command.)

Ahh I had assumed that was the Live TV command so a rarely if ever used it. It does work perfectly though, it will go back to a recorded show if playing in the background.
