Hi all, I finally registered here even though I've been read a lot of these threads for some time now. I thought I'd take this time to make a list of some features I would love to see in the next software update for my DVR 522. Right now my 522 has software version L253. I hope DISH will read this because these features would make DISH DVR a lot better and more competitive. Anyone else with ideas please feel free to add ideas.
1. A way to change channels while viewing the program guide without leaving it. I've seen this on DirecTV receivers and I've found it very useful. When browsing the PG you just hit the left direction button and the left-most box with the channel number and abreviation will become highlighted and in the pip the channel will change. On DISH I need to hit ok, the channel will change and leave the guide, then go back.
2. More Program Guide Information. Yet another DirecTV feature, shows also contain information on directors, actors, genres, etc. So for instance, I can find other shows with the same director as the one I'm viewing. On DirecTV, show information is a lot more organized and availible.
3. Channel Logos. I know this sounds really superficial but I really hate not having the logos for all the channels in the program guide. It just makes browsing a lot more accesible and it took me a while to figure out what SCINE stood for anyway.
