Have just set up our new Panasonic DMR-HWT260 HDD recorder, after sadly retiring the much beloved TiVO.

This new machine is driving me slightly mad with a couple of little things that I can't figure out how to fix.  Can anyone provide any answers please?

Questions are;

1)   When in the Guide or the Video Menu,  the little thumbnail that plays a preview is really annoying.   Is there anyway to turn this off.   For example,  if I have paused Live TV , then go the the Guide,  it starts up again and the only thing to do is Mute it.   

2)   A more underlying problem.   We also have a Panasonic Blu Ray player and when I press any of the function buttons like "Function Menu" or "Video Menu" it activates the Blu Ray player on HDMI 2 channel.   Pressing the button a second time gets me back to the HDD,  but this is really annoying each time I want to select a recording.      It also goes to HDMI 2 anytime I press the "Exit" button from the guide.

I really miss my Tivo.   

Would appreciate any help, as I'm willing to give this new one a fair go (before I throw it out the window).
