Have only had a short time with the new software but here is something that fghkjsdjkfk!!!! annoyed me.
You can only add up to 29 minutes pad at the end of a program. I pad all sporting events atleast an hour, what our they thinking by changing this? Now I have to pad 29 minutes, then go add another timer, which may not overlap with the other one, if I do overlap then I burn two tuners creating conflicts. And of course I now have a football or baseball game under the original title until that ends then I go search for whatever show title has the remainder of the game. This is freaking stupid, who the hell thought this was a good idea, can't be a bug since they have a message that tells you can can't pad more then 29 minutes.. This needs to be fixed within the next 2 weeks, totally unacceptable :evil:
Another problem, when you go to record a program that you have been watching, first it gives you a banner and you have to press options to get anywhere but picking up where you are currently. Why have an extra step? just bring up the list of options right away. Also the beginning of show is only highlighted I guess if you actually have had it on since the beginning of the show. So if you want the last half hour since you started watching (not the beginning) you still have to rewind and hit record. Unless I'm missing something this is how it worked for me. The option should read 'record from when you first started watching'.. yet another feature not thought out to work as it should.
I can't believe I waited 7 months to have the pad taken away and the same functionality I pretty much had to record shows in progress except now I have to do an extra button press. How did no-one else on the beta program see these as annoyances. This is soooo bad..
By the way the weather and triple conflict are very nice and well designed, except I thought there was going to be a skip one timer option. I created a weekly timer and two others to conflict and I never saw this option.
