So, sounds like that's the problem.........ie not saved to any flash or other memory?

During the f/w upgrade I noticed that my T2 (barebones) is running considerably hotter than my T3.

Page Up/Down shortcut ?

When in the media player, with file list open, is there a quick way to scroll up and down eg page at a time, the list of files/recordings?

i.e. not one file at a time using the cursor keys.

In the old DP's, you could use the CH+/- button to page up or down, but that doesn't work with the T3.
