Just to report that pvr seems to be working well as I type.  Fortunately my pvr list was not 
lost during all the recent activity.  There is only one thing different from before:-  

Previously when downloads were about to start a stack of info was presented including 
duration of program to be downloaded before the actual download kB / sec. figures started 
to roll.  

This info no longer shows.  What is the pref I must add to get it to display please? 
Regards and many thanks once more.
Alastair.
