There seems to be a difference in the UX when playing recorded programs depending on how you start them. I found that you can play a recording by selecting a recorded program and clicking the Play button on the remote or you can select a recording, click into the recording to get the synopsis and click Watch. If you click the Menu button on the remote while watching it from clicking the Play button it takes you back to the listing of recorded programs. If you do the same while watching it from selecting Watch it takes you back to the synopsis screen where you have the options to Mark Watched, Delete, More Episodes. Not sure if this is intended or not so I thought I would mention it. It would be nice if they both worked the same as selecting Watch. It would make it easier to delete.
I’m not sure I follow exactly, but the Menu button always takes you back to the screen which was shown last (as required by the tvOS HIG).
Sorry for not explaining it clearly. You answered my question with the remark about the tvOS HIG. Thanks.
