I recently bought a 5040 to replace my old 3030. We still have the Power and Record lights on the front, but no more New Content light. Why not? I think the New Content light is much more informative and useful than the Record light. I don't really care if it's recording something right now, I would rather know if there's anything new to watch since I last looked.
Without the light, I have to sit down and turn everything (TV, receiver, ReplayTV) on, tune everything to the right inputs, hit Replay Guide, and scroll around to see if there's anything new.
Yes I could automate all that with a remote macro, but you're still talking ten seconds or more, versus a quick glance at the LED.
Please ReplayTV bring back the New Content light!
