Don't see that would help, it would mean moving all sorts of stuff around.


After all you know what channel your on by the dog and it being first on miniguide.


More wasteful than most is that it shows that title of the program you have highligthed, sorry but its highlighted why bother when the start of the info could go there......

Because if it's a short programme the title often gets truncated in the grid.

I like the look, pretty good IMHO.

Like this. In fact the programme after "Gra..." is so short there's no room to display it at all.

Good point.........


The one thing for me that would improove any epg is the option not to show greyed out channels that you don't subscribe to.........


Plus to be able to hide the adult channels as well......


:erm:

You can already hide the adult channels (can do it of the V/V+ boxes as well)

You can also set up 'Favourites' to just show the channels you watch and then you can filter on both the main and mini-guides to only show that catagory

What I really like in the guide is that when watching a HD channel, it will put a little HD in a box next to the title if it is actually HD and not if its just upscaled. Very handy imo :)

Also for most shows now it lists the season number and episode number in the info :) and the date of first broadcast.

Season number and episode number is a must. As certain shows are on multiple channels.

I do like the way it constantly records a buffer on both tuners. So if you go to 'info' to see what's on the other other tuner, think it looks interesting and press 'OK' to switch to it, you can still rewind to the start or record the entire show.

Anyone that's used an S1 will be able to navigate the entire thing with ease. Yes there's more features but it's basically the same :)

Totally agree, especially if you have a wishlist search set otherwise it would record a lot of duplicates.

I'll +2 that!
I also have digiguide and just found the repeats of Wheeler Dealers revisited. That includes what episode is being broadcast. If tivo had this... another for the wish list

wife having a moan :fit: :geez: about not being able to select changing channel automatically on start of program.

on the v+box the wife would go through what was on today and when she sees a program that she like to watch she pressed OK and it would ask you if you wanted the channel to change automatically on the start program.
so that she did not miss it.
had to tell her that the software will prob be updated to incorporate that later in the year.
:Peaceman:

TiVo does include season and episode, if the broadcaster does.

So with NCIS on FX you can see exactly which episode it is.
