[Scott Greczkowski]

i love the new look! Any word on when the upgrade? I know...soon.....

This summer.

This summer.

Next summer in the southern hemisphere probably with as slow as Dish is with anything.

The better answer and the most popular answer reguarding anything Dish is "soon".

A Couple of shots from my Canon...

One thing I do not like is that you lose a half hour of guide for the info on the right. I have always liked the fact I could position my guide at 7 pm and see the entire nights prime time.

AGREE. Will add for me it is 8-11PM prime time all on one screen.

I wonder when or if we'll get it, prior to this summer?

 

[ERSanders]

Looks like Dish 8.1 !

IF you are saying that you want to see all of your prime time channels at one time then you can do what I do. I set in my guide a LOCALS option and then put my ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX and CW in one guide. I then move to 7:00pm and I can see all the way to 10:00pm and I can see what is recording that night during prime time. I can easily go through the guide and select the show and see if it is New or not.

His comment was towards the new guide showing less than 3 hours at a time so you can't see a channel's full prime time schedule on one screen.

Thanks for the tip. I never noticed the My Off-Air guide option before. Has it always been there?

If you compare the 2 pictures of the guide you will see a difference. The head on shows only 7 channels, the blurry off angle shows 8. Could be large vs small fonts.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nope probably not. I wouldn't expect it before May at the earliest.

Always ? I personally can't say, but it's definitely not "brand new". It's been there for a while....

It's actually showing (9), not (8), and yes, it's most certainly from the small-font to large-font change. Lose the banner and gain (1) more on both settings too.

Thanks, I just leave my options set on My Channels. Don't remember seeing My Off-Air selection before. But it has been a long time since I looked at the options.

I never change it unless it's on accident!

Would be nice if we could see all the shows appearing on a particular channel in different orders, alphabetical, time that it will air, popularity (What's Hot), etc. They could do this by letting you search for a particular channel and the shows airing on that channel being the search result. We used to be able to do this with a particular receiver in the past, seeing all the shows on that particular channel. The receiver is now an obsolete DVR. I believe it was the Dishplayer or 721 that could do this in the past.

 

[danknapp76]

Didn't at least one press release say something about Beta testing opportunities for this, or am I crazy? Any word?

I miss that option from back in the day when I used Media Center for a DVR when I had cable. Select the channel number then it would display all shows on that channel.

Yes, if you have the ota usb tuner it shows up as an option on the hopper.

Yes. Correct. Thanks.
