I'll have to wait to get the software to give my opinion ...
However, from what your saying is they now have the info that you guys have craved, but your now still not happy.
Somehow that doesn't surprise me.
So you haven't seen it, but think a suggestion about how its presented in a couple of areas could be better is complaining? Yet you haven't even seen what is there... k.
In general, including the current live guide, there is a lot of wasted space. They could tighten it up and include a little more info. Those margins on the left and right are pretty useless and extend the entire screen on both sides. That space there doesn't really serve any purpose and takes away from what can been seen in the info portion. Same with the guide area, that huge margin on the side of the channel numbers is wasted space. Moving that stuff to left align wouldn't impact readability one bit and give some extra room for show names or they could bump the resolution a tiny bit and fit another half our and maybe a couple rows of channels.
One other thing, why do we have HD in the channel names when all the shows list HD next to the show? Wasted space again.
It doesn't have to be packed with info or anything but having so much wasted space could add another half hour to the guide or expand the show info some without it impacting readability if they used the space a little better.
As for the changes, Listing your recorded shows:
<huge space still> S24 | E22 Jimmy goes to hell Yesterday <huge space> 10:30p 229 HGTV
And sorting by the S24 when title is selected is a bug. I don't care to have the season and episode number in that particular view (attached to the show name like it is) its nice to have in the show info on top though. If they add the possibility to sort by episode and season that would be nice but its not there yet. Perhaps its coming. Having the extra info in that part isn't the end of the world but expressing my dislike for it in that particular spot is what should be done.
Better location for it would be the giant margin to the left of the show title instead of it being added to the show name string which is very likely given the sorting error.
Pointing out you have a huge gap to the left which is again, wasted space and another gap between Yesterday and the time is again, wasted space and constructive criticism. Sorry you took it as complaining.
