One very annoying aspect of the progress bar is that it stays on the screen permanently after I’ve paused, and there’s no way to get rid of it. I find this particularly annoying when watching sports where they flash a stat or something on the bottom and I want to pause and look at it, but it’s obscured by the time bar / progress bar.
I think it should either fade away after a few second (come back if you touch (not click) the touchpad) or go away by hitting ‘menu’ on the remote.
