It is a shame DirecTV did not consider the HALATION effect that intense white text on intense black background causes particularly to dyslexic viewers! (and elderly?)
In this and the next few posts you want to Change the GUI to something else ... (don't like the Black, did you enjoy the BLUE ?, you want to change the OS of the unit, then your not happy with the Remote .....
My friend is dyslexic. I asked her if she had any problems reading the new guide. She she said no, its a big improvement for her and asked me how to get it on her receivers.
So basically he picked something that sounds scientific to bolster his 'argument', thinking no one would call him on it. But it's BS.

Overall I like the HDGUI from a purely cosmetic point of view. It is easier for me to read across the room. But that is where it ends, at the cosmetics!
I'm all HR24s and other than while actually in the guide itself, everything is slower than it was. Not enough to throw the remote like the HR21s are, but slow enough that it is mildly irritating. And since D* didn't feel the urge to give more than the same old 1.5 hour guide width, I don't see what all the kudos that this upgrade seems to get. Possibly it is because now the HR24s can run at the same speed as the older models??
