To a large degree, I'll bet the design is done. They're not going to change it based on "feedback" here. They can consider the things said for future updates, but at this point, they're (probably) working on stability of the interface, not the look of it.
I would actually say your wrong and that they are looking for feedback.
I just noticed the small, medium, and large font option in the new VIP series receivers I recently set up on my commercial account at work. I can't remember if they were there back when I was using VIP at home. So, this is something very real at Dish, and only a matter of time for the Hopper.
IIRC, menu, preferences, format guide?
I agree and if they want to make it easier for DISH and or Echostar, they could do what I have suggested before. Let the receivers use the PSIP data for ota sub channels that aren't carried by the satellite. That way DISH would only be responsible for uploading the guide data for ota channels that have satellite equivalents in each dma. Now the PSIP data wouldn't go out very far ,but I know the DISH Pal PlUS dvr that is for ota only ,works that way. You might only get manual timers for the sub channels because of no full guide out 8 days ,but we all know what is on at any time of the day . We get a full guide to see what is on and DISH doesn't have to fool with maintaining the epg for all these subs channels and the various moves associated with them in each dma. THIS ONE thing would be the biggest improvement they could make if they aren't going to work to maintain the full guide for all sub channels. Without full correct guide data for the ota channels, the hopper comes in second to TIVO in that regard.
