It occurred to me that the current 4 view options on the recordings menu could easily (?) be simplified into two, which IMO would be a little bit more friendly to use.
"What's New" is really just the recordings list ordered by date of most recent recording - so this could just be one screen with the menu option to order alphabetically or chronically. (EDIT: actually the option to sort by date already exists, so an option not to display 'what's new' would suffice)
And 'pending' and 'reoccurring' are also really the same thing. If the option to cancel / update a reoccurring recording was added to the pending sub-menu (when applicable) then one screen could be used to perform all the actions of the current two.
This would leave just a 'Current Recordings' screen and a 'Future recordings' screen with all the functionality of the current 4, but much easier to flip between and use.

Hope this makes sense....

The problem isn't the number of choices, GBPVR/PVRx2 and originally NextPVR had the nice left side menu. If the horizontal menu showed the choices it would be less confusing, I feel I am always spinning between items.

They are slightly different. Recordings displays them on a per show basis. What's New displays them on a per episode basis. I personally like the distinctions and would not want to see What's New removed.

I agree a visual slider bar or some dots like an iPhone or Android launcher would make navigating the horizontal menus easier (perhaps also the option not to loop horizontal menus). However you can use the TV listings plugin to return to vertical menu buttons but i still think the current logic leaves some redundancy or duplication in the menu options.
Perhaps whurlstons comment could be incorporated by adding a display chronologically by program or by episode. I still think the concept of a page for stuff thats already recorded, and a page for stuff thats going to be recorded is a clearer division of functionality.
