[Megathread] Emergency alerts

Hi Grimmt, I have some comments on the items you listed. 

recordings being deleted without warning (before 90 days) - This bug is being investigated. Strangely, it's not a widespread issue, so it's been hard to reproduce. 

some programs can't be set as a series recording (some news programs have been resolved but not all) - We fixed series recording issues for news channels, and we have an update coming in June that should address the metadata issue and make series recording more reliable. 

Series recordings are locked to a specific channel (i.e. can't automatically record the first occurrence of an episode) - WIP

 .   HDR control is broken (SDR is forced to HDR) - unfortunately no update on this one yet

 .   audio syncing shifts at times - reboots needed to fix sometimes - No need to reboot, you can simply switch the channel that you're watching and switch back, it should resync the audio
 .   recording listing doesn't provide indication you have started watching already (i.e. resume) - WIP

 .   recording listing doesn't show what recorded channel or date/time - WIP

 .   cannot do bulk deletes on recordings - WIP
 .   cannot set a series recording based on key words - WIP

 .   guide doesn't show first airing - The guide has LIVE/NEW badges 

 .   previous searches are not remembered - This is a good one, I will pass it on to the team
 .   system can't skip the home screen on start up - WIP
