Unfortunately I am using the latest version. I tried it and saw the fading bezel and your code does catch the case as you describe.

Looks like there are some esoteric cases that are missed.

I'll spend some time to try to replicate fully BUT I have found one example (quickly) where a dialog arises when changing channels - just try it from the EyeTV full screen menu (while recording, long menu press, select a new channel, hit live tv - a dialog appears). In this case though the dialog can be ok'd using the apple remote (as the single OK button has focus) and EyeTV menu code is in "control" (??)

Still looking for the exact combination which caused the dialog to come up outside of an EyeTV menu (and with two buttons).. BUT it does happen

thanks for the prompt reply.

best regards,
