Re: [Merged] CR3-Feedback & Questions in Here Please.

There are things on this new software that simply defy logic.

When scrolling down the mini guide the selector jumps to the bottom of the two visible programmes. Consequently you sometimes have to go back up one in order to select the next programme for a reminder or to see programme info. The logic may well have been intended to make scrolling through the visible programmes in the miniguide quicker but it rather defeats the object sometimes.

Another thing is when you select a programme in the mini guide to see progamme information then the mini-guide will disppear after a few seconds so, unless that was all you wanted to do, you then have to go though it all again (finding the channel on the miniguide and then scrolling to where you were before). Of course you could have pressed "TV" and get a fixed mini-guide if you'd had the forsesight at that time but that is not the point.

What is this thing about having the "back" button take you back into the main guide instead of the previous programme to the one you were watching?
Another insane idea. It is just as easy to press "guide" again if you wanted to go back into it and not temporarily loose normal functionality of the back button (in terms of watching TV).

These and other stupid little things should have been sorted out in a proper user test before release.

The lack of page-up/down in the channels/mini-guide has been mentioned a lot. I'm not sure how they'd do it since you can now re-order your channels (so paging in absolute 100's aint gonna work as such) but it would still make life a bit easier if they could make it so that you can page-up/down in 10 channel steps.
