Info screen popup - Mediaroom bug

Since MTS upgraded to Mediaroom version 1.6.25314.10 I've noticed a new Mediaroom bug.

The INFO menu will pop up on the TV for no reason. The INFO menu is the Program Info/Summary screen you get when you press the INFO button on the remote. You can get rid of the menu by either pressing the EXIT button or OK to "Resume play".

I've had Ultimate TV since January and never had the problem before the version update, so it's not a problem with stray signals or accidental button presses. I've seen the INFO screen pop up 2 or 3 times over the weekend when I was not using the remote and once when I was in the other room.

So far I've only seen this on recorded programs, but that's not surprising since less than 10% of my viewing is "live" TV. The last time this happened I tried to recreate the problem by rewinding the program about a minute and watching that segment again, but the INFO screen didn't pop up the second time. So it's more complicated than just a byte sequence in the data stream that is causing the popup.

This problem has also been reported in the Bell Fibe TV forum, so we know it's a software bug and not just an MTS problem. Bell has been running Mediaroom 1.6.25314 at least since it's official launch. Several people have reported the problem on both recorded and live TV.

I had this happen to me last night. I am on the new version of the client. Only did happen once. Did notice though, that before watching the show, I checked the HD capacity and I only had about 23% disk space remaining. I deleted a bunch of programs before watching the show.
