LG Magic Remote

[abelford112]

Hi Peter

Many thanks for your response 

I have tried this button which offers various options but not the delete option. It is so strange that where you have recorded a series of programs, the Magic  remote opens the BT UI with options below to watch or delete but when there is a single recording the BT UI, again accessed with the Magic remote instructs that the record button will perform the delete function 

I am grateful for your helpful response but please don’t go to more trouble over this. I will keep both remotes handy. 
Thanks again

I am still not clear on this.
You can bring up the information screen for the recording on the TV screen?
Can you see a Delete function listed?
Can you tab right to get to it using the cursor keys?
Can you press OK to select the Delete function?

Bearing in mind that I am using the LG magic remote and accessing recordings on the BT box pro, I can access recordings on the BT box pro. If there are several recordings grouped together, I can open them watch them or delete each one by highlighting the appropriate box on the BT UI. If it happens to be a single recording and not part of a grouped recording, the BT UI will offer the delete function at the bottom of the screen, by highlighting the recording and pressing the record button. However, there is no record button on the LG magic remote and none of the other buttons or sequence of buttons will provide a record function or button. I am quite content to keep both remotes to hand and am grateful for your help

I thought the issue was trying to delete an existing recording?

That is exactly the problem I was trying to solve. Deleting a single recording on my BTbox pro using the LG magic remote

But you can do it the way I described without needing to use a Delete or Record button.

I’m afraid we seem to be at cross purposes. When only a single program has been recorded on the BT box pro,  that program can be highlighted, and when it is highlighted the BT interface very clearly shows, at the bottom  of the screen showing the recorded program that when the ‘record’, ie red button is pressed, the program can be deleted. However, my point and my problem is that it is impossible to navigate in any way using the LG magic remote to that record function on the screen. It is absolutely inaccessible using any the navigation features on the LG  magic remote. Please do not take any more time to pursue this. Thanks for your help

You are missing the crucial step of displaying the information for the highlighted recording which displays a delete option which you can navigate to.

Thanks for your advice, however, I can very easily display the information on the BT  UI which shows both the recording and the option to delete. I should emphasise that I am talking of the instance where only one recording has been made and not a group of recordings which show an entirely different interface and can be easily deleted by navigating to the appropriate delete function. Where only a single recording has been made it is possible to highlight the recording but the LG magic remote has no ‘record’ button which the BT UI highlights  must be depressed to perform the delete AND the LG magic remote will not navigate to the area of the BT UI where this function is displayed. Single recording delete is quite different from group recordings delete on the BT box pro. Thanks for your advice but I will not pursue this further

So you cannot display the Information screen for the individual recording? This seems to be the sticking point which you have not yet answered.
