I tap on a program and press the info button to open the program detail window to see if it interests me. If it doesn't I press the back button to return to the main listings page.

I select a program I want to be reminded of and press the reminder button.

Now when I check my calendar both programs are displayed.

The only way I have found to stop this is to delete the info in the program detail window before pressing the back button. This only works if I have not already selected any programs. I also understand you can deselect a program by tapping it a second time but without a visual notification this can be hit and miss. The only fool proof way to select multiple programs is not to click the info button,
Ok I'll try to sort out this confusion for you.
  • When you click a programme its selected. When you click it again its deselected.
    Point taken, there is no visual indication as I removed the highlighting as mentioned earlier.
  • After you select programmes, when you click info all that it does is display the details of the selected programmes. There is a clear button in the programme detail window that you see after clicking info.
    This clear button differs from the clear button on the main page in the fact that it will clear the selected programmes.
  • The clear button on the main window, however , clears all selected programmes and all selected channels as well and everything thats in memory, so basically you start as though you started the app fresh.

So, what you need to do in your example is,

if you selected some programmes P1, P2 and then you go back to the channel listings
and then select P3 then the list of selected programmes will be P1,P2 and P3.
So if you dont want P1,P2 you can click on P1 P2 again(to deselect them) or before selecting P3, on the programme detail window, hit clear, that will clear P1,P2 and then hit back to return to the channel list and then select P3.
Hope thats clear .

P.S , I will try to show some visual indication of the selected programmes in the main channel listings window that should make it easier for you I understand.

cheers.
