V6 Progress Bar Missing

I recently had my V6 box replaced due to a drive issue. On the new box in my recordings there is no longer a progress bar next to a recording. I found this useful for identifying recordings I had partially watched. Has this feature been removed from new versions of the V6 box?

Thanks

    All V6 boxes use the same TiVO firmware, so there should be a progress bar. There should also be an option in “My Shows” where you can see all the partially viewed recordings.

      Thanks for the suggestion. I've now checked this option, funnily enough the progress bar shows there. Would also be useful to have it next to programmes in folders within my shows, as it used to be.

    Can you post a photo of the menu system on your new box? Or the "My shows" view?

      Thanks, attached two pictures. Bedroom box is new, some of the programmes have been watched but no progress bar. Other picture, downstairs showing progress bar, this is how it used to look on Bedroom box also.

        Ideal - that rules out my initial suspicion of you having been converted to TV360.

        Are both those pictures taken on the relevant box itself, as opposed to viewing via multiroom? The other obvious difference is the top picture is missing the blue option for toggling between recordings & VoD.

        Double-check the firmware between the two boxes via Home > Help & Settings > System Info > System Info. I will be very surprised if the SW version is any different (as per nodrogd comment above), but let's rule it out.

    The progress bars are not showing on the top screen as the title display takes priority & the titles are long. In the left menu column, scroll down from "All" & select "Partially Viewed". This will show the status of your partially viewed recordings.

    Thanks but the titles are truncated followed by ... and there is space for the progress bar but its blank. As a workaround I can go to partially viewed recordings as you suggest
